Abstract excerpt
The folding reaction of a stable monomeric variant of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (mSOD1), an enzyme responsible for the conversion of superoxide free radicals into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, is known to be among the slowest folding processes that adhere to two-state behavior. The long lifetime, ∼10 s, of the unfolded state presents ample opportunities for the polypeptide chain to transiently sample nonnative...
