摘要: Abstract Four residues Pro19, Leu28, Cys31 and Cys32 proved to be the minimal structural requirements in determining dimeric structure N-terminal segment swapping of bovine seminal ribonuclease, BS-RNase. We analyzed content secondary tertiary structures RNase A, P-RNase PL-RNase MCAM-PLCC-RNase A MCAM-BS-RNase, performing near far-UV CD spectra. It results that five proteins have very similar native conformations. Thermal denaturation at pH 5.0 proteins, studied by means measurements, reversible well represented two-state N⇔D transition model. Thermodynamic data are discussed light information available for
