Abstract excerpt
The two N-terminal domains of the P-type copper ATPase, CopAa and CopAb, from Bacillus subtilis differ in their folding capabilities in vitro. Whereas CopAb has the typical betaalphabetabetaalphabeta structure and is a rigid protein, CopAa is found to be largely unfolded. A sequence analysis of the two and of orthologue homologous proteins indicates that Ser46 in CopAa may destabilise the hydrophobic core, as...
