We report the application of pulsed oxidative labeling for deciphering the folding mechanism of a membrane protein. SDS-denatured bacteriorhodopsin (BR) was refolded by mixing with bicelles in the presence of free retinal. At various time points (20 ms to 1 day), the protein was exposed to a microsecond ·OH pulse that induces oxidative modifications at solvent-accessible methionine side chains. The...
This study explores how the kinetics of a coupled folding/binding reaction depend on the initial conformation of the protein. Stopped-flow spectroscopy is used to monitor the reaction of apo-myoglobin (aMb) with hemin dicyanide at pH 7.2. Different initial aMb conformations are tested. In the case of acid-denatured aMb, the observed kinetics are consistent with a “fly-casting” scenario [Shoemaker...
