Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy has been used to characterise the folded and unfolded states of bovine ubiquitin (a small protein of 76 residues) under acidic conditions (pH ~ 1); fast time-resolved measurements of protein unfolding, initiated by a laser-induced temperature-jump of ~ 8 °C, shows rapid refolding and β-sheet secondary structure formation on a timescale of a few milliseconds.
