Materials and Methods. Slow T-jump experiments were per-formed in the apparatus described previously (Tsong et al., 1972). Kinetic experiments and difference spectra were re-corded in a Cary 15 spectrophotometer. Equilibrium melting curves were performed in a Beckman DU spectrophotometer, equipped with thermospacers.“pH-jump” experiments were carried out using an “adder-mixer” of the type described by Crothers (1964). pH values were measured with a Radiometer pH meter 26, using a GK-2321-C combined electrode. Ribo-nuclease A (RASE) was obtained from the Worthington Bio-chemical Corp. Concentrations of protein were measured us-ing a molar absorbance of 9.8 X 103 at 278 nm. All other re-agents were analytical grade. t From the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20014.

Thesecond model postu-lates that the pH dependence of the rate constants arises mainly from differences in the titration curves of the native and unfolded protein, caused by changes in the Linderstrom-Lang electrostatic interaction parameter, w, which is known to be a function of the conformation and hydration of globular proteins.
