Abstract excerpt

The rates of folding of wild-type chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2) (t1/2 = 12 ms) and of faster (t1/2 = 2 ms) and slower (t1/2 = 350 ms) folding mutants are accelerated in parallel by increasing concentrations of sucrose, despite the increases in viscosity. At a viscosity 26 times that of water, th...
