Amino acid-resolved hydrogen exchange (HX) offers detailed insights into protein folding intermediates, revealing structures of elusive molten globules and transient states. This technique maps the structure, stability, and kinetics of these crucial folding stages.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Structural Biology
  • Protein Dynamics

Background:

  • Protein folding intermediates are crucial for understanding protein structure and function.
  • Traditional methods like crystallography and NMR have limitations in studying transient or low-abundance states.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the application of amino acid-resolved hydrogen exchange (HX) methods for studying protein folding intermediates.
  • To highlight the capability of HX in characterizing diverse folding states, from molten globules to high-energy excited states.

Main Methods:

  • Direct hydrogen exchange (HX) measurements to define molten globule structures.
  • HX pulse labeling methods to determine the structure, stability, and kinetics of short-lived folding intermediates.
  • Native state HX methods to detect and characterize high-energy excited state intermediates.
