In a similar experiment, MERS-CoV PL pro was gradually heated from 20 to 80°C at a rate of 1°C/min during which tryptophan fluorescence was measured by exciting at 295 nm and collecting at 330 and 350 nm to obtain the temperature melting curve. Commonly, protein unfolding fluorescence spectra are characterized by a long wavelength shift ''red-shift.'' But some proteins, Fig. 2 a Sequence of C-terminal His-tagged MERS-CoV PL pro showing ten Tyr and five Trp residues, which are highlighted in green and blue, respectively. Our result showed that the band intensity of the supernatant samples incubated from 20 to 70°C was apparently unchanged (Fig. 5) , indicating Fig. 3 Thermally induced structural changes in MERS-CoV PL pro as monitored by the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence spectroscopy. ./cache/cord-255815-5d9bqji0.txt ./txt/cord-255815-5d9bqji0.txt
