Abstract excerpt
The unfolding equilibrium of recombinant (rNP) and natural variants of nucleoplasmin (NP) from Xenopus laevis has been analyzed using biochemical and spectroscopic techniques. In the presence of denaturing concentrations of guanidinium salts (GuHCl and GuSCN), both domains, core and tail, of the rNP pentamer unfold as proven using single-carrying tryptophan mutants, whereas urea is remarkably unable to fully...
