Abstract excerpt
The cis/trans isomerization of prolyl peptide bonds has been suggested to dominate the folding of the alpha subunit of tryptophan synthase from Escherichia coli (alphaTS). To test the role of the unique cis isomer between Asp27 and Pro28, the folding properties of P28A, P28G and G(3)P28G, a three-glycine insertion mutant between Asp27 and Gly28, were investigated using urea as a denaturant. Circular dichroism...
