Abstract excerpt
The N-terminal SH3 domain of the Drosophila adapter protein Drk (drkN SH3 domain) is marginally stable (DeltaG(U) = 1 kcal/mol) and exists in equilibrium between folded and highly populated unfolded states. The single substitution T22G, however, completely stabilizes the protein (DeltaG(U) = 4.0 kcal/mol). To probe the causes of instability of the wild-type (WT) protein and the dramatic stabilization of the...
