Learning Goals/Objectives for Chapter 2D: After class
and this reading, students will be able to
- differentiate between thermodynamic (equilibrium) and
kinetic (timed) approaches to the study of protein folding
reactions
- describe techniques to study transient (kinetic) and
long-lived (thermodynamic) intermediates in protein folding
- describe the following intermediates in protein folding:
molten globule, X-Pro isomers; Disulfide bond intermediates
- interpret spectral and chromatographic data from protein
folding studies and use this to determine or explain a mechanism
for folding
- describe properties of folded, unfolded, molten globule, and
intrinsically disordered proteins
- explain the difference between the environments for protein
folding when performed in vitro and in vivo
- state the role of molecular chaperones in in vivo protein
folding
- describe differences in disulfide bond occurrence in
cytoplasmic and extracellular proteins
