Abstract
We show in this paper that the isolated bovine ribonuclease 21-42 fragment is able to adopt in water solution a measurable population (14% at 22 degrees C, pH 5.4) of a native-like alpha-helical structure. Strong support for this conclusion is given by the analysis of CD data and 1H chemical shift variations with the temperature and the addition of stabilizing (trifluoroethanol) and denaturing (urea) agents. This results gives experimental support to the idea that native isolated secondary structure elements (at least alpha helices) are, as a rule, partially stable in solution and therefore they can act as independent protein-folding nucleation centers.Keywords
