Abstract excerpt
The loops connecting the seven transmembrane helices of bacteriorhodopsin have each been replaced in turn by structureless linkers of Gly-Gly-Ser repeat sequences, and the effect on the protein folding kinetics has been determined. An SDS-denatured state of each loop mutant bacterio-opsin was folded in l-alpha-1,2-dihexanoylphosphatidylcholine/l-alpha-1,2-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine micelles, containing...
