k p, B and c m values were determined by nonlinear data fitting from four different measurements. Representative gels with corresponding plots are shown in the Supplementary materials.

*The determination of c m for p.A114V neglected the cleavage of partially folded forms.

**Values were determined by visual inspection because these data could not be evaluated by nonlinear data fitting.

***k p could not be exactly determined due to low reproducibility at lower concentrations of thermolysin.

N.D. not determined due to the rapid proteolysis in the absence of urea.
