Abstract excerpt
Hybrid MalE-GVP is a bifunctional protein in vitro since it binds maltose as protein MalE of Escherichia coli and since it is dimeric and specifically binds single-stranded DNA as protein GVP of phage M13. The oxidation rate of a unique cysteine residue was used to compare the stabilities of GVP in its free and hybrid forms, under conditions where MalE was either folded or unfolded by a denaturing agent. The...
