Cooperative Binding of p53 to DNA: Regulation by Protein–Protein Interactions through a Double Salt Bridge

Stability and activity modulation of chy

Stability and activity modulation of chymotrypsins in AOT reversed micelles by protein–interface interaction: Interaction of α-chymotrypsin with a negative interface leads to a cooperative breakage of a salt bridge that keeps the catalytic active conformation (Ile16–Asp194)

The stability of ␣-chymotrypsin and ␦-chymotrypsin was studied in reversed micelles of sodium bis(2ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane. ␣-Chymotrypsin is inactivated at the interface and at the water pool, while ␦-chymotrypsin is inactivated only at the water pool. The mechanism of inactiva
