At high (>3.5 kbar) pressures and low (<−10 °C) temperatures, hen egg-white lysozyme denatures readily and reversibly. Amide hydrogen exchange methods were used to investigate the structure of the pressure-assisted cold-denatured state of lysozyme. Protection factors were obtained for 52 backbone amide protons. The extent of protection of many of these protons is markedly different from that in lysozyme denatured by high temperature, high urea concentration, or chemical modification; specifically, the protection factors are higher and are strongly correlated with elements of secondary structure present in the native state. Furthermore, the pattern of protection factors is similar to that observed in lysozyme during refolding from highly denatured states, particularly during the early stages (<3.5 ms) of refolding [Gladwin, S. T., & Evans, P. A. (1996)Folding Des.1, 407]. Previous data on cold-denatured ribonuclease A were reevaluated and compared to known folding intermediates [Houry, W. A., & Scheraga, H. A. (1996)Biochemistry35, 11734; Udgaonkar, J. B., & Baldwin, R. L. (1990)Proc. Natl.Acad. Sci. U.S.A.87, 8197] to further test the supposition that the pressure-assisted cold-denatured states of proteins resemble the early folding stages.
