Abstract excerpt
Kinetic and equilibrium studies of apomyoglobin folding pathways and intermediates have provided important insights into the mechanism of protein folding. To investigate the role of intrinsic helical propensities in the apomyoglobin folding process, a mutant has been prepared in which Asn132 and Glu136 have been substituted with glycine to destabilize the H helix. The structure and dynamics of the equilibrium...
