Molecular dynamics study of an insertion/duplication mutant of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme reveals the nature of α→β transition in full protein context.

Abstract excerpt

An α→β transition underlies the first step of disease causing amyloidogenesis in many proteins. In view of this, many studies have been carried out using peptide models to characterize these secondary structural transitions. In this paper we show that an insertion/duplication mutant 'L20' of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme (M. Sagermann, W. A. Baase and B. W. Matthews, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 1999, 96, 6078)...
