title: Dynamic light scattering studies of ribonuclease.
abstract: Dynamic light scattering has been used to measure the translational diffusion coefficients of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A as functions of temperature and concentration in the presence of 1 M Guanidine-HCl. Data was collected throughout a temperature range including the folding-unfolding transitions. Evidence of a pretransition "swelling" of the protein was observed. Entropy and enthalpy changes upon unfolding were obtained using a two-state model.
