Abstract

The effect of cations on the formation of protein aggregates was examined by in vitro refolding of mutant tryptophan synthase $\alpha$-subunit in which Pro 24 was replaced by Leu. $NH^{4+},; K{^+}; and; Na^{+}$ and no effect, but $Mg^{2+}; and; Ca^{2+}$stimulated the formation of protein aggregates in dose-dependent manner. It is suggested that $Mg^{2+} and Ca^{2+}$ may be implicated in the formation of protein aggregates in vivo.
