Analysis of the results of such studies indicate that folding of SNase fragments is dominated by developing the local and non-local nucleation sites from native-like secondary structures and by intensifying the longrange interactions of residues at nucleation sites with residues further removed in sequence. The results show that at different pH values the aggregation processes of both proteins follow different pathways determined by the variations in the native structure and by the details of the involved conformational changes. ./cache/cord-014685-ihh30q6f.txt ./txt/cord-014685-ihh30q6f.txt
