Abstract excerpt
The conformational features of native and mutant forms of sperm-whale apomyoglobin (apoMb) at neutral pH were probed by limited proteolysis experiments utilizing up to eight proteases of different substrate specificities. It was shown that all proteases selectively cleave apoMb at the level of chain segment 82-94 (HEAELKPLAQSHA), encompassing helix F in the X-ray structure of the holo form of the native protein;...
