Abstract: Examines putative interhelix ion pairs involved in the stability of sperm whale myoglobin. Single mutations of sperm whale myoglobin; Favorable contribution of the electrostatic interactions to myoglobin stability at a certain pH level; Factor affecting the stability of the pH 4 folding intermediate and potential ion pairs within the subdomain.
