Abstract

The idea to monitor directly the population of proline cis–trans isomers in the unfolded state is not new, and was pioneered initially by Torchia and co-workers, through the biosynthetic incorporation of [4- 13 C] proline into collagen, and later applied to the study of staphylococcal nuclease. 5 Although methods and instrumentation (cryogenic probes) have been developed to improve sensitivity, carbon remains one of the least sensitive nuclei for detection and thus has ...
