Abstract excerpt
Hydrophobic core mutants of sperm whale apomyoglobin were constructed to investigate the amino acid sequence features that determine the folding properties. Replacements of all of the Ile residues with Leu and of all of the Ile and Val residues with Leu decreased the thermodynamic stability of the folded states against the unfolded states but increased the stability of the folding intermediates against the...
