The unfolding of beta-lactamase (penicillinase) from Staphylococcus aureus by guanidinium chloride was followed by using n.m.r. spectroscopy. On the basis of the observation of resonances corresponding to histidine, tyrosine and other amino acid side chains, the existence of a stable partially folded species was demonstrated. These experiments provide detailed characterization of the intermediate that confirms and extends previous characterization by absorption and c.d. spectroscopy and by flow properties. In addition, they show that residues in the N-terminal third of the molecule are affected by the native-to-intermediate transition. Persistent non-equivalence of the two imidazole C2 proton resonances at high guanidinium chloride concentrations is discussed in terms of local sequence effects on the chemical shift.
