Abstract excerpt
Recently, we have found a transient intermediate on the folding pathway of src SH3. Intending to investigate the structure of the transient intermediate, we tested a mutant of src SH3, named A45G, using circular dichroism, fluorescence and X-ray solution scattering, and incidentally found that it forms a stable alpha-helix-rich intermediate (I(eq)) (different from the native beta-sheet-based secondary structure)...
