Abstract

The aim of my project was to use intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence to monitor the denaturation pathway of a protein, specifically the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzyme Rv0045c. The larger scientific goal and inspiration for this honors thesis was to use the amino acid residues of a protein to map it's unfolding by thermal denaturation.
