Altered native stability is the dominant basis for susceptibility of α(1)-antitrypsin mutants to polymerization

Serpins are protease inhibitors whose most stable state is achieved upon transition of a central 5-stranded β-sheet to a 6-stranded form. Mutations, low pH, denaturants and elevated temperatures promote this transition, which can result in a growing polymer chain of inactive molecules. Different typ...
