The NH2-terminal extension decreases the folding rate of the precursor form of MBP relative to its mature form by at least 5 fold, but it has no effect on the unfolding rate.
A extensión NH2-terminal diminúe a taxa de pregamento da forma precursora da MBP en relación coa súa forma madura a aproximadamente a 5ª parte, pero non ten efecto sobre a taxa de despregamento.
