Oxidative refolding of amyloidogenic variants of human lysozyme. by Wain, R, Smith, L, Dobson, C

“…The results show that in each case the ensemble of reduced denatured conformers initially collapses into a large number of unstructured intermediates with one or two disulphide bonds, the majority of which then fold to form the native-like three-disulphide intermediate, des-[77-95]. The slow step in the overall folding reaction involves the rearrangement of the latter to the fully oxidised native protein containing four disulphide bonds. …”
