Abstract excerpt
The earliest folding events in single-tryptophan mutants of RNase A were investigated by fluorescence measurements by using a combination of stopped-flow and continuous-flow mixing experiments covering the time range from 70 micros to 10 s. An ultrarapid double-jump mixing protocol was used to study refolding from an unfolded ensemble containing only native proline isomers. The continuous-flow measurements...
