Abstract excerpt
In this work, we have analyzed the relative importance of secondary versus tertiary interactions in stabilizing and guiding protein folding. For this purpose, we have designed four different mutants to replace the alpha-helix of the GB1 domain by a sequence with strong beta-hairpin propensity in isolation. In particular, we have chosen the sequence of the second beta-hairpin of the GB1 domain, which populates the...
