In both proteins, a transient intermediate accumulates within the dead time of stopped-flow mixing (18 ms), and the intermediate has an appreciable amount of secondary structure but possesses an unfolded tertiary structure. It is suggested that the rapid formation of a secondary structure framework in protein folding is a common property observed in a variety of globular proteins.}, pages = {115--118}, title = {Rapid formation of secondary structure framework in protein folding studied by stopped-flow circular dichroism}, volume = {221}, year = {1987} }
