Determination of disulfide structure in agouti-related protein (AGRP) by stepwise reduction and alkylation.

abstract：:Coiled coils are simple models for studying the association of two polypeptide chains to form a folded protein. Previous work has shown that the folding of a coiled coil can be described by a two-state transition between two unfolded monomeric peptide chains and a folded coiled coil dimer. Here we report the thermodyn...
