The refolding of barstar, the intracellular inhibitor of barnase, is dominated by the slow formation of a cis peptidyl prolyl bond in the native protein. The triple mutant C40/82A P27A in which two cysteine residues and one trans proline were replaced by alanine was used as model system to investigate the kinetics and structural consequences of the trans/cis interconversion of Pro48. One- and two-dimensional real-time NMR spectroscopy was used to follow the trans/cis interconversion after folding was initiated by rapid dilution of the urea denatured protein. Series of 1H, 15N HSQC spectra acquired with and without the addition of peptidyl prolyl isomerase unambiguously revealed the accumulation of a transient trans-Pro48 intermediate within the dead time of the experiment. Subtle chemical shift differences between the native state and the intermediate spectra indicate that the intermediate is predominantly native-like with a local rearrangement in the Pro48 loop and in the beta-sheet region including residues Tyr47, Ala82, Thr85, and Val50.

Slow protein folding processes during which kinetic folding intermediates occur for an extended time can lead to aggregation and dysfunction in living cells. Therefore protein folding helpers have evolved, which prevent proteins from aggregation and/ or speed up folding processes. In this study we present the...

Real-time NMR spectroscopy developed to a generally applicable method to follow protein folding reactions. It combines the access to high resolution data with kinetic experiments allowing very detailed insights into the development of the protein structure during different steps of folding. The present review concentrates mainly on the progress of real-time NMR...

At low ionic strength, apoplastocyanin forms an unfolded state under non-denaturing conditions. The refolding of this state is sufficiently slow to allow real-time NMR experiments to be performed. Folding of apoplastocyanin, initiated by the addition of salt and followed by real-time 2D 1H-15N...

The folding and unfolding of proteins is generally assumed to be so co-operative that the overall process may be followed by a single probe, such as tryptophan fluorescence. Folding kinetics of three mutants of barnase and chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2) were studied by real-time NMR....
