... (enzymeI of the PTS), the first protein in the cascade of proteinsforming the PTS, to HPr, the histidine-phosphocarrierprotein. HPr is the smallest protein in the protein cascade of the PTS and ... from the fitting of the CD thermal denaturation data to Eqn (1). Fitting of the thermal and urea-denaturation data (using the approach of Pace and Laurents [39]) yielded similar values, within the ... described in the literature [1,37]. The errors are calculated from the propagation of fitting errors. DHm¢ , the enthalpy of the cold denaturation, was obtained from fitting to Eqn (1) of the thermal...
