Abstract excerpt
To investigate the characteristics of the postulated carboxy terminal chain-folding initiation site in bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) (residues 106-118), important in the early stages of the folding pathway, we have engineered by site-directed mutagenesis a set of 14 predominantly conservative hydrophobic variants of the protein. The stability of each variant has been compared by pressure and...
