Abstract excerpt
An increasing number of proteins that contain topological knots have been identified over the past two decades; however, their folding mechanisms are still not well understood. UCH-L1 has a 52-knotted topology. Here, we constructed a series of variants that contain a single tryptophan at different locations along the polypeptide chain. A study of the thermodynamic properties of the variants shows that the...
