Time dependence of the secondary structure content of BPI solutions after the quench from 60°C to 25°C. Data were obtained by calculating the areas of three Lorentzian line shapes (corresponding to β-sheet, α-helix, and random coil, respectively) that were fitted to each of the spectra shown in Fig. 3 (see text).
