Stability of uniformly labeled (13C and 15N) cytochrome c and its L94G mutant

Abstract Cytochrome c (cyt c) is widely used as a model protein to study (i) folding and stability aspects of the protein folding problem and (ii) structure–function relationship from the evolutionary point of view. Databases of cyts c now contain 285 cyt c sequences from different organisms. A sequ...
