Contrasting roles for symmetrically disposed beta-turns in the folding of a small protein.

Journal of molecular biology - 12 Dec 1997

Gu H, Kim D, Baker D

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the role of turns in protein folding, we have characterized the effects of combinatorial and site-directed mutations in the two beta-turns of peptostreptococcal protein L on folding thermodynamics and kinetics. Sequences of folded variants recovered from combinatorial libraries usi...
