Kinetic and thermodynamic analysis of the conformational folding process of SS-reduced bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A using a selenoxide reagent with high oxidizing ability.

abstract：:The yeast cyclins Cln1 and Cln2 are very similar in both sequence and function, but some differences in their functionality and localization have been recently described. The control of Cln1 and Cln2 cellular levels is crucial for proper cell cycle initiation. In this work, we analyzed the degradation patterns of Cln1...
