mechanistic model for the denaturation of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A in urea, a direct interaction between urea and protonated histidine as the initial step for protein inactivation followed by hydrogen bond formation with polar residues, and the breaking of hydrophobic collapse as the final steps for protein denaturation |

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 |

RNase A tandem enzymes, in which two RNase A molecules are artificially connected by a peptide linker, and thus have a pseudodimeric structure, exhibit remarkable cytotoxic activity, but can be inhibited by the cytosolic ribonuclease inhibitor in vitro. Structure modeling, overview |

analysis of synthesis and maturation, folding, quality control, and secretion, of pancreatic RNase in the endoplasmic reticulum of live cells, overview. Human RNase folds rapidly and is secreted mainly in glycosylated forms |

analysis of synthesis and maturation, folding, quality control, and secretion, of pancreatic RNase in the endoplasmic reticulum of live cells, overview. In contrast to the slow in vitro refolding, the protein folds almost instantly after translation and translocation into the endoplasmatic reticulum lumen. Despite high stability of the native protein, only about half of the RNase reaches a secretion competent, monomeric form and is rapidly transported from the rough endoplasmic reticulum via the Golgi complex to the extracellular space |

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 |
