Synthetic biology of proteins: tuning GFPs folding and stability with fluoroproline.
Proline residues affect protein folding and stability via cis/trans isomerization of peptide bonds and by the C(gamma)-exo or -endo puckering of their pyrrolidine rings. Peptide bond conformation as well as puckering propensity can be manipulated by proper choice of ring substituents, e.g. C(gamma)-...
