Nat Struct Biol. 3:1996;874-890 The crystal structures of two circular permutants of the SH3 domain of α-spectrin were solved, showing that they retained the wild-type structure. Mutant analysis, however, showed that the two permutants fold through different transition states.

J Mol Biol. 268:1997;760-778 α-helical propensity was introduced into the 19 N-terminal residues of the SH3 domain from α-spectrin. It was shown that although these residues form a helical structure in the unfolded state they form a β-structure in the fully folded protein.

Evidence for an obligatory intermediate in the folding of interleukin-1β Nat Struct Biol. 4:1997;725-731 The folding transition of interleukin-1β was followed using quench flow hydrogen exchange in combination with ESI-MS, so the populations of the unfolded, intermediate and native states of the protein could be followed individually. Due to the slow formation of the intermediate, a lag in the rate of formation of the native state was detected, demonstrating that the intermediate formed is on the folding pathway.
