Structure-energy relations in hen egg white lysozyme observed during refolding from a quenched unfolded state

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We use infrared spectroscopy to study the evolution of protein folding intermediate structures on arbitrarily slow time scales by rapidly quenching thermally unfolded hen egg white lysozyme in a glassy matrix, followed by reheating of the protein to refold; upon comparison with differential scanning calorimetric experiments, low-temperature structural changes that precede the formation of energetic native contacts are revealed.
