Multi-Step Unfolding and Rearrangement of α-Lactalbumin by SDS Revealed by Stopped-Flow SAXS by Grethe Vestergaard Jensen, Grethe Vestergaard Jensen, Jannik Nedergaard Pedersen, Daniel E. Otzen, Daniel E. Otzen, Jan Skov Pedersen, Jan Skov Pedersen

“…We attribute the rapid unfolding of aLA to its predominantly α-helical structure, which persists in SDS (albeit as isolated helices), enabling aLA to unfold without undergoing major secondary structural changes unlike β-sheet rich proteins. Nevertheless, the overall unfolding steps are broadly similar to those of the more β-rich protein β-lactoglobulin, suggesting that this unfolding model is representative of the general process of SDS-unfolding of proteins.…”
