Abstract excerpt
Five mutant alpha-lactalbumins, with one or two amino acid substitution(s) in the B helix, were engineered to examine the relation between the stability of the molten globule state and the hydrophobicity of these amino acids. The mutation sites (Thr29, Ala30 and Thr33) have been chosen on the basis of comparison of the amino acid sequences of goat, bovine and gunea pig alpha-lactalbumin, in which the guinea pig...
