CarD undergoes reversible thermal folding in solution. (a) CD spectra obtained during thermal denaturation of CarD (10 μM). CarD was heated from 20 to 95 °C and then cooled from 95 to 20 °C. For clarity, only the representative CD spectra acquired at 20 °C, 55 °C and 95 °C during both heating and cooling (labeled with ‘_R’) have been plotted. The CD spectra reveal partial unfolding at elevated temperatures and refolding upon cooling with the presence of isobestic/isodichroic point at 205 nm. (b) The plot showing variations in secondary structural content of CarD with change in temperature. With the increase in temperature, the percentage of α-helices decreases and the percentage of anti-parallel β-sheets increases significantly.
