Abstract
⺠Unfolding and refolding LamB protein in detergent exhibits extreme hysteresis. ⺠Without its disulfide bond, LamB protein unfolds in low denaturant concentrations. ⺠The disulfide bond clasps the sides of L1 at the inner wall of the β-barrel. ⺠Low pH dissociates the LamB trimer to folded monomers, observable on SDS PAGE. ⺠Low pH disrupts salt bridges between L2 of the adjacent subunit and the β- barrel.
