Abstract excerpt
Rapid molecular collapse mediated by nonlocal interactions is believed to be a crucial event for protein folding. To investigate the role of nonlocal interactions in tertiary structure formation, we performed a nonlocal interaction substitution mutation analysis on staphylococcal nuclease (SNase). Y54 and I139 of wild-type (WT) SNase and Delta140-149 were substituted by cysteine to form intramolecular disulfide...
