Probing the Stability of Native and Activated Forms of α(2)-macroglobulin

α(2)-macroglobulin (α(2)M) is a 718 kDa homotetrameric proteinase inhibitor which undergoes a large conformational change upon activation. This conformational change can occur either by proteolytic attack on an ~40 amino acid stretch, the bait region, which results in the rupture of the four thioest...
