Abstract excerpt
Recently, we showed that the recombinant (r) Vlambda6 protein Wil exhibits a more disrupted residual structure and a longer lag time for fibril formation than the rVlambda6 protein Jto under highly unfolding conditions at pH 2. Here, we focused on the roles of three histidine residues specific for Wil, which are positively charged at pH 2 and could repel one another. Heteronuclear relaxation experiments revealed...
