analysis of the disulfide bond formation phase in detail in the oxidative folding, as the first of two folding phases, of RNase A, overview. Comparision of folding intermediates of reduced RNase A obtained at 25°C and different pH values from pH 4.0, pH 7.0, to pH 10.0, shuffling and transformation of different intermediate types, overview. The preconformational folding phase coupled with disulfide bond formation can be divided into two distinct subphases, a kinetic (or stochastic) disulfide bond formation phase and a thermodynamic disulfide bond reshuffling phase. The transition from kinetically formed to thermodynamically stabilized disulfide bond intermediates are induced by hydrophobic nucleation as well as generation of the native interactions |

domain swapping, the process in which a structural unit is exchanged between monomers to create a dimer containing two versions of the monomeric fold, is believed to be an important mechanism for oligomerization and the formation of amyloid fibrils. In RNase residue P114 acts as a conformational gatekeeper, regulating interconversion between monomer and domain-swapped dimer forms, with cis and trans conformation, isomerization at P114 may facilitate population of a partially unfolded intermediate or alternative structure competent for domain swapping, overview |

pancreatic ribonuclease A shows domain swapping, a type of oligomerization in which monomeric proteins exchange a structural element, resulting in oligomers whose subunits recapitulate the native, monomeric fold, under extreme conditions, such as lyophilization from acetic acid. The major domain swaps dimer form of RNase A exchanges a beta-strand at its C-terminus to form a C-terminal domain-swapped dimer, mechanism, overview. Domain swapping occurs via a local high-energy fluctuation at the C-terminus |

Structure-function relationship, overview. Potential role for catalytic base His119 in ligand discrimination and/or stabilization in addition to its critical role in catalysis, molecular dynamic simulations show that His119 adopts both rotameric positions in solution, most likely experiencing conformational exchange over the course of a catalytic reaction.
