First principles prediction of protein folding rates

DA Debe, WA Goddard III - Journal of Molecular Biology, 1999 - Elsevier
Experimental studies have demonstrated that many small, single-domain proteins fold via
simple two-state kinetics. We present a first principles approach for predicting these …

Analysis of the kinetics of folding of proteins and peptides using circular dichroism

NJ Greenfield - Nature protocols, 2006 - nature.com
Circular dichroism (CD) is a useful spectroscopic technique for studying the secondary
structure, folding and binding properties of proteins. This protocol covers how to use the …

AR Dinner, M Karplus - nature structural biology, 2001 - nature.com
Fig. 1 Correlation between the observed values of log kf and the crossvalidated predictions.
Blue symbols are for models that take the contact order as their only input (triangles for α …

Unfolding pathways of human serum albumin: evidence for sequential unfolding and folding of its three domains

MK Santra, A Banerjee, O Rahaman… - International journal of …, 2005 - Elsevier
Human serum albumin (HSA) contains three α-helical domains (I–III). The unfolding process
of these domains was monitored using covalently bound fluorescence probes; domain I was …

Submillisecond folding of the peripheral subunit-binding domain

S Spector, DP Raleigh - Journal of molecular biology, 1999 - Elsevier
Folding and unfolding rates have been measured for the peripheral subunit-binding domain,
a small three-helix protein. The protein folds very fast, with rates too rapid to be measured …

Cooperative cold denaturation: the case of the C-terminal domain of ribosomal protein L9

B Luan, B Shan, C Baiz, A Tokmakoff, DP Raleigh - Biochemistry, 2013 - ACS Publications
Cold denaturation is a general property of globular proteins, but it is difficult to directly
characterize because the transition temperature of protein cold denaturation, T c, is often …

Analysis of the pH-dependent folding and stability of histidine point mutants allows characterization of the denatured state and transition state for protein folding

JC Horng, JH Cho, DP Raleigh - Journal of molecular biology, 2005 - Elsevier
pH-dependent studies of the folding kinetics and stability of a set of His to Gln point mutants
were used to characterize the denatured state and transition state ensembles for the C …

pH-dependent Stability and Folding Kinetics of a Protein with an Unusual α–β Topology: The C-terminal Domain of the Ribosomal Protein L9

S Sato, DP Raleigh - Journal of molecular biology, 2002 - Elsevier
The folding kinetics and thermodynamics of the isolated C-terminal domain of the ribosomal
protein L9 (CTL9) have been studied as a function of pH. CTL9 is an α–β protein that …

The cold-unfolded state is expanded but contains long-and medium-range contacts and is poorly described by homopolymer models

NE Stenzoski, J Zou, A Piserchio, R Ghose… - Biochemistry, 2020 - ACS Publications
Cold unfolding of proteins is predicted by the Gibbs–Helmholtz equation and is thought to be
driven by a strongly temperature-dependent interaction of protein nonpolar groups with …

Direct characterization of the folded, unfolded and urea-denatured states of the C-terminal domain of the ribosomal protein L9

Y Li, F Picart, DP Raleigh - Journal of molecular biology, 2005 - Elsevier
The stability of the isolated C-terminal domain of the ribosomal protein L9 (CTL9) is strongly
dependent upon pH. Below pH 4.2, the folded and unfolded states are both populated …
