Peter S. Kim1 and Robert L. Baldwin* abstract: In the folding reaction of the slow-folding species (Us) of ribonuclease A (RNase A), the slow isomerization of wrong proline isomers provides a suitable trap for kinetic folding intermediates at low temperatures (0-10 C). Partly folded intermediates are known to accumulate before proline isomerization takes place, after which native RNase A is formed. We have been able to measure the protection from amide proton exchange which is provided by structure in the intermediates at different times along the folding pathway. Previous work has shown that, by labeling the amide protons of the unfolded protein before initiating refolding, an earlyI^ evious work has shown that proline isomerization can be used as a kinetic trap for intermediates in the folding of RNase A. 1 The results can be summarized as follows.(1) There are two classes of unfolded RNase A: a fast-folding class, UF, and a major (80%) slow-folding class, Us (Garel & Baldwin,
