The roles of helix I and strand 5A in the folding, function and misfolding of α1-antitrypsin.

α(1)-Antitrypsin, the archetypal member of the serpin superfamily, is a metastable protein prone to polymerization when exposed to stressors such as elevated temperature, low denaturant concentrations or through the presence of deleterious mutations which, in a physiological context, are often assoc...
