Abstract excerpt
Folding of tendamistat is a rapid two-state process for the majority of the unfolded molecules. In fluorescence-monitored refolding kinetics about 8% of the unfolded molecules fold slowly (lambda=0.083s(-1)), limited by peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerization. This is significantly less than expected from the presence of three trans prolyl-peptide bonds in the native state. In interrupted refolding experiments we...
