Abstract excerpt
The present differential scanning calorimetry and circular dichroism studies on the mechanism of protein stabilization by disulfide bonds were concerned with two questions: is the increase in unfolding entropy upon removal of disulfide links sufficient for the explantation of the general stability decrease of disulfide-deficient mutants? Is it immaterial by which residue cysteine residues are replaced when...
