Abstract
Using recombinant variants of BPTI, we have determined the rate constants corresponding to formation of each of the fifteen possible disulfide bonds in BPTI, starting from the reduced, unfolded protein. The 14-38 disulfide forms faster than any of the other 14 possible disulfides. This faster rate results from significantly higher intrinsic chemical reactivities of Cys-14 and Cys-38, in addition to local structure in the reduced protein that facilitates formation of the 14-38 disulfide bond. This disulfide bond is found in native BPTI. Our results suggest that a significant flux of folding BPTI molecules proceed through the one-disulfide intermediate with the 14-38 disulfide bond, denoted [14-38], that has recently been detected on the BPTI folding pathway. In addition to providing a detailed picture of the early events in the folding of BPTI, our results address quantitatively the effect of local structure in the unfolded state on folding kinetics.
