Assembly of Tat-dependent [NiFe] hydrogenases: identification of precursor-binding accessory proteins.

abstract：:Apomyoglobin is a widely used model for studying the molecular mechanisms of globular protein folding. This work aimed to analyze the effects of rigidity and length of loops linking protein secondary structure elements on the stability of the molten globule intermediate state. For this purpose, we studied folding/unfo...
