Abstract excerpt
The structure and energetics of protein-folding intermediates are poorly understood. We have identified, in the thermal unfolding of the apoflavodoxin from Anabaena PCC 7119, an equilibrium intermediate with spectroscopic properties of a molten globule and substantial enthalpy and heat capacity of unfolding. The structure of the intermediate is probed by mutagenesis (and phi analysis) of polar residues involved...
