Characterization of the structural forces governing the reversibility of the thermal unfolding of the human acidic fibroblast growth factor

Abstract Human acidic fibroblast growth factor (hFGF1) is an all beta-sheet protein that is involved in the regulation of key cellular processes including cell proliferation and wound healing. hFGF1 is known to aggregate when subjected to thermal unfolding. In this study, we investigate the equilibr...
