Initial folding of SAF-p1 and SAF-p2a upon mixing. (A) CD spectra of the SAF peptides: 100 μM SAF-p1 (▵), 100 μM SAF-p2a (□), average of these spectra (dashed line); and for the mixture 100 μM in each peptide at t = 0 (○). (B) Concentration dependence of the CD signal at 222 nm for SAF-p1 (▵), SAF-p2a (□), the average of these signals (dashed line), and the initial mixture (○). The curve for the mixture shows a fit to a monomer-dimer equilibrium.
