Abstract excerpt
The global and local stabilities of a eukaryotic ferricytochrome c variant with an engineered disulfide are examined. The disulfide connects position 20, which is usually a valine, to position 102, which is usually a threonine. The cross-linked variant is approximately 1.2 kcal mol-1 less stable than the wild-type protein at 298 K, pH 4.6, in H2O and D2O. Circular dichroism studies show that the decreased...
