Fold Des. 1:1996;243-254 Increasing denaturant has two effects in barnase: native state exchange becomes global and global exchange moves from an EX2 to an EX1 mechanism. No partially unfolded forms can be observed. Native-state exchange can, however, have a significant denaturant dependence (m value).

Science. 271:1996;642-645 This paper shows how the fine balance of the energetics of a protein can be altered by the binding of a molecular chaperone, resulting in a change of HX mechanism for the globally exchanging residues of barnase from EX2 to EX1. From this, features of the mechanism of chaperone action can be elucidated.

Biophys Chem. 59:1996;351-356 The authors show that both native state and global exchange have to be taken into account when considering exchange kinetics, and that a single exchange mechanism, for all protons, may not be assumed even under unfolding conditions.

Biochemistry. 36:1997;8686-8691 This detailed study of globally exchanging residues in both EX1 and EX2 conditions carefully spells out the importance of obtaining data well into the EX1 limit. The analysis takes into account the greater errors associated with measuring rapid exchange rates.

The authors spell out clearly the alternatives: that the observed partially unfolded forms may be formed sequentially or independently. They observed that, for cytochrome c, a sequential pathway appears to be supported by the current data.
