Abstract

Refolding of b*C40A/C82A/P27A is comprised of several kinetically detectable folding phases. The slowest phase in refolding originates from trans → cis isomerization of the Tyr47–Pro48 peptide bond being in cis conformation in the native state. This refolding phase can be accelerated by the peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase human cytosolic cyclophilin (Cyp18) with a kcat/KM of 254,000 M−1 s−1. The fast refolding phase is not influenced by the enzyme.
