✦ Synopsis


Mathematical models for the protein folding-unfolding process involving multiple intermediates have been derived. Computer fitting of the experimental data to this model generates various thermodynamic parameters for the folding-unfolding process. In this way, the complex folding-unfolding process of the multi-domain proteins can be analysed in a quantitative way. The application of the folding-unfolding model involving seven stages in human placental alkaline phosphatase is described.

The equilibrium of protein folding-unfolding has been investigated with a simple two-state, native and random-coil, model; we have termed this the globule-coil model. Energies are calculated by favoring native long-range contact pairs. Most-probable native domains are obtained a t all stages of the
