Transient kinetics of redox reactions of flavodoxin: effects of chemical modification of the flavin mononucleotide prosthetic group on the dynamics of intermediate complex formation and electron transfer.

abstract：:An important subject for elucidating membrane protein (MP) folding is how transmembrane helices (TMHs) insert into and dissociate from membranes. We investigated helix dissociation kinetics and insertion topology by means of intervesicular transfer of the fluorophore-labeled completely hydrophobic model transmembrane ...
