This study compares the properties of the extrinsic 33 kDa subunit acting as 'manganese stabilizing protein' (MSP) of the water oxidizing complex with characteristic features of proteins that are known to attain a 'natively unfolded' or a 'molten globule' structure. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the MSP in solution is most likely a 'molten globule' with well defined compact regions of beta structure. The possible role of these structural peculiarities of MSP in solution for its… CONTINUE READING
