Abstract excerpt
We used Phi-value analysis to characterise the transition state for folding of a thermophilic protein at the relatively high temperature of 325 K. PhiF values for the folding of the three-helix bundle, peripheral subunit binding domain from Bacillus stearothermophilus (E3BD) were determined by temperature-jump experiments in the absence of chemical denaturants. E3BD folded in microseconds through a highly diffuse...
