Abstract excerpt
Proteins that fold as (β/α)8 barrels are thought to have evolved from half-barrels that underwent duplication and fusion events. The evidence is particularly clear for small barrels, which have almost identical halves. Additionally, computational calculations of the thermodynamic stability of these structures in the presence of denaturants have revealed that (β/α)8 barrels contain two subunits or domains...
