The thesis entitled “Folding studies on Peanut Agglutinin: A lectin with an unusual quaternary structure” deals with the several aspects of the folding of the tetrameric legume lectin Peanut Agglutinin ...

In the cell, as in in vitro, the final conformation of a protein is determined by it's amino acid sequence (1). Some isolated proteins can be denatured and refolded in vitro in absence of extrinsic factors. However, in ...

Native states of globular proteins typically show stabilization in the range of 5 to 15 kcal/mol with respect to their unfolded states. There has been a considerable progress in the area of protein stability and folding ...
