Abstract excerpt
The guanidine hydrochloride-induced conformational transitions of glycosomal triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) were monitored with functional, spectroscopic, and hydrodynamic measurements. The equilibrium folding pathway was found to include two intermediates (N(2) ↔I(2) ↔2M↔2U). According to this model, the conformational stability parameters of TIM are as follows: ΔG(I2-N2) = 5.5 ± 0.6, ΔG(2M-I2) =19.6 ± 1.6, and...
