Different Members of a Simple Three-Helix Bundle Protein Family Have Very Different Folding Rate Constants and Fold by Different Mechanisms

The 15th, 16th, and 17th repeats of chicken brain α-spectrin (R15, R16, and R17, respectively) are very similar in terms of structure and stability. However, R15 folds and unfolds 3 orders of magnitude faster than R16 and R17. This is unexpected. The rate-limiting transition state for R15 folding is...
