Abstract excerpt
The native state of human muscle acylphosphatase (AcP) presents two alpha-helices. In this study we have investigated folding and aggregation of a number of protein variants having mutations aimed at changing the propensity of these helical regions. Equilibrium and kinetic measurements of folding indicate that only helix-2, spanning residues 55-67, is largely stabilized in the transition state for folding...
