Abstract
Proton magnetic resonance, circular dichroism and other studies of whole and cleaved calf thymus histone H1 (formerly F1) reveal the presence of specific folded structures in the region approximately from residue 40--115. Ionic, hydrogen-bond and hydrophobic interactions all appear to contribute to the stability of the structure, which is predicted to contain alpha-helices in regions 42--55 and 58--75. No evidence was found for beta-structures, either inter or intramolecular, or for any structure formation outside the region 40--115. At 18 degrees C and a protein concentration of 2 mM the first-order exchange rate between random-coil and structured forms is slower than 80 s-1; at 40 degrees C the exchange rate is faster than 330 s-1.Keywords
