Abstract excerpt
Local hydrophobic collapse of the polypeptide chain and transient long-range interactions in unfolded states of apomyoglobin appear to occur in regions of the amino acid sequence which, upon folding, bury an above-average area of hydrophobic surface. To explore the role of these interactions in protein folding, we prepared and characterized apomyoglobins with compensating point mutations designed to change the...
