Abstract excerpt
Despite its higher net charge and reduced opportunities for favorable tertiary interactions, Ca(2+)-free rat beta-parvalbumin is more stable than rat alpha-parvalbumin. Under conditions wherein alpha denatures at 45.8 degrees C, beta denatures at 53.6 degrees. The homologous chicken beta isoform known as CPV3 also exhibits heightened stability-prompting an inquiry into the stabilizing influence of Pro-21 and...
