Abstract excerpt
The molecular chaperone SecB binds to hydrophobic sections of unfolded secretory proteins and thereby prevents their premature folding prior to secretion by the translocase of Escherichia coli. Here, we have investigated the effect of the single-residue mutation of leucine 42 to arginine (L42R) c...
