Abstract excerpt
The kinetic folding mechanism for the alpha subunit of tryptophan synthase (alphaTS) from Escherichia coli involves four parallel channels whose inter-conversions are controlled by three cis/trans prolyl isomerization reactions (tau(1), tau(2) and tau(3)). A previous mutational analysis of all 19 proline positions, including the unique cis Asp27-Pro28 peptide bond, revealed that the G(3)P28G, P78A or P96A...
