Abstract excerpt
Reversible thermal denaturation of 33 genetic variants of human serum albumin (HSA) appeared to be a two-state process when studied by circular dichroism (CD). Fourteen single-residue variants have Tm values (midpoint of denaturation) higher than, and nine have Tm values lower than, their endogenous, wild-type counterpart. Nine single-residue variants have DeltaHv values (van't Hoff enthalpy) higher than, and 14...
