General Stability

General Stability Organism
urea unfolding of GNMT is a two-step process. The first transition is a reversible dissociation of the GNMT tetramer to compact monomers in 1.0-3.5 M urea with enzyme inactivation. The second step of GNMT unfolding is a reversible transition of monomers from compact to a fully unfolded state with R(S) of 50 A, exposed tryptophan residues, and disrupted secondary structure in 8 M urea Homo sapiens
