Soc. 129(17): 5673-5682 (2007) | Resumen: | Recent experimental work on fast protein folding brings about an intriguing paradox. Microsecond-folding proteins are supposed to fold near or at the folding speed limit (downhill folding), but yet their folding behavior seems to comply with classical two-state analyses, which imply the crossing of high free energy barriers. However, close inspection of chemical and thermal denaturation kinetic experiments in fast-folding proteins reveals systematic deviations from two-state behavior. Using a simple one-dimensional free energy surface approach we find that such deviations are indeed diagnostic of marginal folding barriers. Furthermore, the quantitative analysis of available fast-kinetic data indicates that many microsecond-folding proteins fold downhill in native conditions. All of these proteins are then promising candidates for an atom-by-atom analysis of protein folding using nuclear magnetic resonance. We also find that the diffusion coefficient for protein folding is strongly temperature dependent, corresponding to an activation energy of ~1 kJ·mol-1 per protein residue. As a consequence, the folding speed limit at room temperature is about an order of magnitude slower than the ~ 1 μs estimates from high-temperature T-jump experiments. Our analysis is quantitatively consistent with the available thermodynamic and kinetic data on slow two-state folding proteins and provides a straightforward explanation for the apparent fast-folding paradox. | Descripción: | 10 pages, 5 figures.-- PMID: 17419630 [PubMed].-- PMCID: PMC2527040.-- Author manuscript available in PMC: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=17419630 Printed version published on May 2, 2007. |
