Abstract excerpt
Porcine odorant binding protein (pOBP) contains a single disulphide bridge linking residues Cys63 and Cys155. In order to get information on the role played by this crosslink in determining the structural and functional properties of the protein, we substituted these two Cys residues with two Ala residues by site directed mutagenesis and investigated the changes in folding, stability and functional features, as...
