摘要: Crucial to revealing mechanistic details of protein folding is a characterization the transition state ensemble and its structural dynamics. To probe ubiquitin thermal unfolding, we examine unfolding dynamics kinetics wild-type mutant using time-resolved nonlinear infrared spectroscopy after nanosecond temperature jump. We observe spectral changes on two different time scales. A fast nonexponential microsecond phase attributed downhill from region, which induced by shift barrier due rapid change. Slow millisecond arise thermally activated kinetics. Mutants that stabilize or destabilize β strands III−V lead decreased increased amplitude phase, indicating disruption weakening these occurs in state. Unfolding features microseconds milliseconds can be explained temperature-dependent c...
