Non-Native Structures of Apomyoglobin and Apoleghemoglobin in Folding Intermediates Related to the Protein Misfolding

Protein folding is essential for a polypeptide chain to acquire its proper structure and function. Globins are a superfamily of ubiquitous heme-binding α-helical proteins whose function is principally to regulate oxygen homoeostasis. In this review, we explore the hierarchical helical formation in t...
