Fine structure analysis of a protein folding transition state; distinguishing between hydrophobic stabilization and specific packing.

Abstract excerpt

Developing a detailed understanding of the structure and energetics of protein folding transition states is a key step in describing the folding process. The phi-value analysis approach allows the energetic contribution of side-chains to be mapped out by comparing wild-type with individual mutants where conservative changes are introduced. Studies where multiple substitutions are made at individual sites are much...
