Abstract excerpt
It is widely believed that beta-parvalbumin (PV) isoforms are intrinsically less stable than alpha-parvalbumins, due to greater electrostatic repulsion and an abbreviated C-terminal helix. However, when examined by differential scanning calorimetry, the apo-form of the rat beta-PV (i.e. oncomodulin) actually displays greater thermal stability than the alpha-PV. Whereas the melting temperature of the a isoform is...
