Satisfying turns in folding transitions
Abstract
Protein engineering studies show that conformations in the folding transition state ensemble can be structurally polarized. In two SH3 beta-sheet domains, the formation of hydrophobic contacts goes hand in hand with the formation of the solvated distal loop beta-turn, while large parts of the molecule remain unstructured in the ensemble.
