Abstract excerpt
The folding mechanism of MNEI, a single-chain variant of naturally occurring double-chain monellin, is complex, with multiple parallel refolding channels. To determine whether its folding energy landscape could be simplified, the two native cis-prolines, Pro41 and Pro93, were mutated, singly and together, to Ala. The stability of P93A was the same as that of the wild-type protein, pWT; however, P41A and P41AP93A...
