Abstract
The structures of the heat and cold denatured states of monomeric bacteriophage lambda repressor are thermodynamically and conformationally the same. The aromatic 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the urea denatured and thermally denatured states are the same at 37 degrees Celsius. The circular dichroism and NMR studies of thermal and urea denaturation of residues 6-85 of the N-terminal region of lambda repressor indicate that the totally denatured state is the sole non-native state at temperatures over 25 degrees Celsius.
