Abstract excerpt
Kinetic stability is thought to be an attribute of proteins that require a long lifetime, such as the transporter of thyroxine and holo retinol-binding protein or transthyretin (TTR) functioning in the bloodstream, cerebrospinal fluid, and vitreous humor. TTR evolved from ancestral enzymes known as TTR-related proteins (TRPs). Here, we develop a rate-expansion approach that allows unfolding rates to be measured...
