摘要
A transient intermediate (I3) observed previously in the unfolding of RNase A was studied by employing a sequential mixing instrument to selectively populate this species. The refolding behavior of this species was determined and the kinetics of its formation further characterized. Formation of I3 represents the earliest detectable change in unfolding. The loss of the 2''CMP binding site occurs in parallel with the exposure of the interior of the protein to solvent. I3 is distinct from previously described intermediates in refolding. Overall condensation of the protein to exclude solvent from the interior, and the formation of a substrate binding site, takes place in approximately 30 ms (pH 5.8, 47.degree. C), indicating that the formation of native structure can take place faster than had previously been supposed.
