Figure 6.
Simplified folding model of tANK. The protein folds via an on-pathway intermediate in which the two N-terminal repeats are unfolded and the three C-terminal repeats are natively folded. Additional NMR cross-peaks of the intermediate state, which do not show a random coil chemical shift, and CD data suggest that there is some residual secondary structure in AR 1 and 2.
