PRE of amide protons of WTCMTSL and Q48CCMTSL apoflavodoxin unfolded in GuHCl at 25°C. The ratio of the intensities of HSQC cross peak maxima (I
para/I
dia) of backbone amides was determined as described in the legend of Fig. 6. Shown are I
para/I
dia of a WTMTSL and b Q48CMTSL apoflavodoxin, both in 6.0 M GuHCl, and I
para/I
dia of c WTMTSL and d Q48CMTSL, both in 3.4 M GuHCl. Green dots highlight the positions of the CMTSL spin-label. Residues Ser-40, Ala-41, Glu-42, Gln-46, Phe-49, Leu-50, Leu-52, Gly-53, Thr-54, and Leu-78 of Q48CCMTSL apoflavodoxin in 3.4 M GuHCl each give rise to two backbone amide cross peaks (a few examples are shown in Fig. 8) and are indicated with red bars in (d)
