Cooperativity of folding of the apomyoglobin pH 4 intermediate studied by glycine and proline mutations.
Nature structural biology - 1 Nov 1997
Luo Y, Kay M S, Baldwin R L
Abstract excerpt
The apomyoglobin pH 4 folding intermediate contains the A, G, and H helices of myoglobin. Helix destabilizing mutations in the A and G helices are used to test whether the pH 4 folding intermediate of apomyoglobin folds cooperatively. Single glycine or proline mutations destabilize the intermediate substantially, showing that intrinsic helix propensities are important for stability of the intermediate. The A and...
