Concentration of GdmCl at which 50% of the protein sample is in the native and intermediate state.
Measure of dependence of ΔG on denaturant concentration, m value. Error bars represent 1 SD from three replicates.
Concentration of GdmCl at which 50% of the protein sample is in the intermediate and denatured state.
Change in free energy for native to intermediate (N-I), intermediate to denatured (I-D), and native to denatured (N-D) transitions.
Rate constant from single exponential fit of unfolding progress curves (data not shown). Error bars represent 1 SD from three replicates.
Rate constants from two exponential fits of refolding progress curves (Figure 2B). Error bars represent 1 SD from three replicates.
