We show here how a temporally controlled protein unfolding-refolding cycle can be coupled in time with programmed pH sequences achieved through the spontaneous decomposition of an activated carboxylic acid. Specifically, we illustrate this process at the molecular level using albumin, the most prevalent protein found in plasma, for which a temporary shift from native to unfolded forms is promoted using nitroacetic acid, able to undergo base-catalysed decarboxylation when solubilized in water solution. As detected by small angle X-ray scattering and intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence, starting from the protein in its native form, the acid addition triggers unfolding to a partially denatured state and a subsequent time-tunable pH rise with gradual refolding that recapitulates the intermediate steps detected at the same pH values by static acidification, fitting within a framework of full reversibility of the structural changes as a function of the protein protonation state. At the end of the pH jump, the native structure is fully recovered, making this method a chemical tool to achieve a complete protein conformational sequence programmed in the timeframe of minutes without further intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":96,"journal":{"name":"Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142363531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
