Abstract excerpt
As an approach to investigate the molecular mechanism of in vivo protein folding and the role of translation kinetics on specific folding pathways, we made codon substitutions in the EgFABP1 (Echinococcus granulosus fatty acid binding protein1) gene that replaced five minor codons with their synonymous major ones. The altered region corresponds to a turn between two short alpha helices. One of the silent...
