Abstract excerpt
Protein folding is directed by the sequence of sidechains along the polypeptide backbone, but despite this the developement of sidechain interactions during folding is not well understood. Here, the thiol-active reagent, dithio-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB), is used to probe the exposure of the cysteine sidechain thiols in the kinetic folding intermediates of the N-terminal domain of phosphoglycerate kinase (N-PGK)...
