Abstract excerpt
Hydrogen exchange experiments monitored by NMR and mass spectrometry reveal that the amyloidogenic D67H mutation in human lysozyme significantly reduces the stability of the beta-domain and the adjacent C-helix in the native structure. In addition, mass spectrometric data reveal that transient unfolding of these regions occurs with a high degree of cooperativity. This behavior results in the occasional population...
