Abstract excerpt
We investigated the HIV-1 protease molecule for the occurrence of cooperative folding units, i.e. structural units that exhibit a relatively stronger protection against unfolding than do other parts of the molecule. Calculated unfolding penalties are used to delineate folding units. This procedure identifies a folding core in HIV-1 protease, based on an ensemble of denatured states derived from native structures,...
