Abstract excerpt
To investigate the contribution to protein stability of electrostatic interactions between charged surface residues, we have studied the effect of substituting three negatively charged solvent exposed residues with their side-chain amide analogs in bovine calbindin D9k--a small (Mr 8,500) globular protein of the calmodulin superfamily. The free energy of urea-induced unfolding for the wild-type and seven mutant...
