Abstract excerpt
Glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase (GART) undergoes a pH-dependent coil-helix transition with pK(a) approximately 7. An alpha-helix is formed at high pH spanning 8 residues of a 21-residue-long loop, comprising the segment Thr120-His121-Arg122-Gln123-Ala124-Leu125-Glu126-Asn127. To understand the electrostatic nature of this loop-helix, called the activation loop-helix, which leads to the formation and...
