Abstract excerpt
Equilibria and kinetics of folding/unfolding of α-lactalbumin and its two N-terminal variants were studied by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The two variants were wild-type recombinant and Glu1-deletion (E1M) variants expressed in Escherichia coli. The presence of an extra methionine at the N terminus in recombinant α-lactalbumin destabilized the protein by 2 kcal/mol, while the stability was recovered in the...
