Fate of the methyl group during the conversion of sterigmatocystin into O-methylsterigmatocystin and aflatoxin B1 by cell-free preparations of Aspergillus parasiticus.

abstract：:Structural and motional features in the denatured state of a protein dictate the early folding events starting from that state and these features vary depending upon the nature of the denaturant used. Here, we have attempted to decipher the early events in the folding of Dynein Light Chain protein (DLC8), starting fro...
