Another important feature of the folding of RNase A is the presence of four disulfide bonds. These bonds contribute to the thermal stability and the rate of folding of RNase A. The residues involved in these linkages include <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_197/Cys26-cys84/ | Another important feature of the folding of RNase A is the presence of four disulfide bonds. These bonds contribute to the thermal stability and the rate of folding of RNase A. The residues involved in these linkages include <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_197/Cys26-cys84/4'>Cys26-Cys84</scene>, <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_197/Cys58-cys110/4'>Cys58-Cys110</scene>, <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_197/40-95_disulfide_native_form/4'>Cys40-Cys95</scene>, and <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_197/Cys65-cys72/5'>Cys65-Cys72</scene>. Cys26-Cys84 and Cys58-Cys110 create an interaction between an α-helix and a β-sheet. This connection is the main contributor to the thermodynamic stability. RNase A actually has a rate-determining three-disulfide intermediate. An analog of this, <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_197/C40-95a_variant/6'>C[40,95]A</scene>, shows RNase A, missing the disulfide bond, Cys40-Cys95, that would normally occur here. As you can see in the variant, there are only 3 disulfide bonds present, shown in red. | ||
