Kinetic evidence of an on-pathway intermediate in the folding of lysozyme

Y Bai. Protein Sci. 2000 Jan.

Abstract

By means of a kinetic test, it was demonstrated that one of the folding intermediates (Ialpha) of hen lysozyme with alpha-domain folded and beta-domain unfolded is on the folding pathway under the classical definition. Ialpha folds to the native (N) state directly (unfolded (U) <==> Ialpha <==> N) without having to unfold to U and then refold to N through alternative folding pathways as in Ialpha <==> U <==> N.
