Abstract
⺠PIMT in Vibrio cholerae is functionally active. ⺠Biophysical characterization reveals a non-native intermediate in folding pathway. ⺠PIMT has different affinities for AdoMet and AdoHcy, both stabilizing the protein. ⺠Modeling and MD simulations also confirm higher stability of PIMT with cofactors. ⺠Osmolytes shift the unfolding equilibrium toward the native state.
