On the Renaturation of Ribosomal Protein L11

Abstract
When urea-denatured preparations of protein L11 from the ribosome of Escherichia coli are introduced into physiological buffers, 2 completely different configurations can be obtained. One form, by NMR criteria, shows little evidence of stable tertiary interactions; the other shows strong indications of a distinctive folding pattern. The configuration obtained depends on minor details of the method used for returning samples to non-denaturing conditions.
