Abstract excerpt
The roles of non-native α-helices frequently observed in the initial folding stage of β-sheet proteins have been examined for many years. We herein investigated the residue-level structures of several mutants of bovine β-lactoglobulin (βLG) in quenched-flow pH-pulse labeling experiments. βLG assumes a collapsed intermediate with a non-native α-helical structure (I0) in the early stage of folding, although its...
