We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

BACKGROUND: Single-module proteins, such as chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2), fold as a single cooperative unit. To solve its folding pathway, we must characterize, under conditions that favour folding, its denatured state, its transition state, and its final folded structure. To obtain a "denatured state' that can readily be thus characterized, we have used a trick of cleaving CI2 into two complementary fragments that associate and fold in a similar way to intact protein. RESULTS: Fragment CI2(1-40)-which contains the sequence of the single alpha-helix, spanning residues 12-24-and CI2(41-64), and mutants thereof, were analyzed by NMR spectroscopy, the transition state for association/folding was characterized by the protein engineering method, and the structure of the complex was solved by NMR and X-ray crystallography. Both isolated fragments are largely disordered. The transition state for association/folding is structured around a nucleus of a nearly fully formed alpha-helix, as is the transition state for the folding of intact CI2, from residues Ser12 to Leu21, Ala16, a residue from the helix whose sidechain is buried in the hydrophobic core, makes interactions with Leu49 and Ile57 in the other fragment. Ala16 makes its full interaction energy in the transition state for the association/folding reaction, just as found during the folding of the intact protein. CONCLUSIONS: The specific contacts in the transition state from a nucleus that extends from one fragment to the next, but the nucleus is only "flickeringly' present in the denatured state. This is direct evidence for the nucleation-condensation mechanism in which the nucleus is only weakly formed in the ground state and develops in the transition state. The low conformational preferences in the denatured state are not enough to induce significant local secondary structure, but are reinforced by tertiary interactions during the rapid condensation around the nucleus.
