Touring the landscapes: partially folded proteins examined by hydrogen exchange.

Recent studies on Escherichia coli ribonuclease H and several other proteins reveal a specific region in each protein that remains structured in partially folded conformations. These regions play a dominant role in determining the fold and stability of the protein.
