Abstract excerpt
The X-ray structure of a variant of basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) has been analyzed to determine the structural accommodation resulting from removal of a disulfide cross-link in a protein. The disulfide removed, Cys30-Cys51, has been implicated in both the folding pathway of the protein and its overall thermal stability. In the variant studied, C30A/C51A, the disulfide cysteines were replaced by less...
