Abstract
The effect of peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) on the refolding and reactivation courses of urea-denatured creatine kinase was followed by fluorescence emission, ultraviolet difference spectra and recovery of activity. PPIase is shown to accelerate the slow-phasic reaction of the refolding of urea-denatured creatine kinase. The results suggest that the prolyl peptide bond isomerization may be one of the rate-determining steps in the refolding of creatine kinase.
