Abstract excerpt
In complex with subtilisin BPN', the 77 amino acid prodomain folds into a stable compact structure comprising a four-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet and two three-turn alpha-helices. When isolated from subtilisin, the prodomain is 97% unfolded even under optimal folding conditions. Traditionally, to study stable proteins, denaturing cosolvents or temperatures are used to shift the equilibrium from folded to...
