The regulatory subunit of PKA-I remains partially structured and undergoes β-aggregation upon thermal denaturation.

<h4>Background</h4>The regulatory subunit (R) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is a modular flexible protein that responds with large conformational changes to the binding of the effector cAMP. Considering its highly dynamic nature, the protein is rather stable. We studied the ther...
