Abstract
The dimensions of a denatured protein, fully reduced ribonuclease A (r-RNase A), have been measured using synchrotron-based small angle X-ray scattering. The radius of gyration, 34-35 A, is unchanged from 0-6 M guanidinium chloride and from 20-90 degrees C at pH 2.5, and agrees with the known scaling behavior for a multitude of chemically denatured states. The polypeptide is behaving as a statistical coil in the non-interacting, high-temperature limit.Entities:
