Raman di โ erence spectroscopy (RDS) can be employed successfully and generally to overcome the problem of spectral crowding in Raman measurements of large macromolecules, such as proteins. In such an experiment, a protein is "taggedร in some way and the di โ erence spectrum between the protein and it

An important idea that emerges from the energy landscape theory of protein folding is that subtle global features of the protein landscape can profoundly affect the apparent mechanism of folding. The relationship between various characteristic temperatures in the phase diagrams and landmarks in the
The process of protein folding in the cell is now known to depend on the action of other proteins. These proteins include molecular chaperones, which interact non-covalently with proteins as they fold and improve the final yields of active protein in the cell. The precise mechanism by which molecula
The available experimental data on the kinetics of unfolding and refolding of small proteins are reviewed. Excluding slow transitions in the unfolded protein due to cis- trans isomerization of peptide bonds, the rate-limiting transition state in both unfolding and refolding is concluded to be a high
