Abstract excerpt
Three variants of human beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)-m) were compared with wild-type protein. For two variants, namely the mutant R3Abeta(2)-m and the form devoid of the N-terminal tripeptide (DeltaN3beta(2)-m), a reduced unfolding free energy was measured compared with wild-type beta(2)-m, whereas an increased stability was observed for the mutant H31Ybeta(2)-m. The solution structure could be determined by...
