Structural and thermodynamic consequences of burial of an artificial ion pair in the hydrophobic interior of a protein.

abstract：:Protein 2.1 is a 210-kilodalton protein that connects erythrocyte spectrin to the NH2-terminal cytoplasmic domain of band 3 and thereby functions as the essential linkage between the membrane skeleton and the bilayer. We cleaved this protein into specific chemical domains by limited digestion with trypsin and alpha-ch...
