Denaturation studies using GdnCl indicated that TSC folds through a partially folded state that resembles molten globule at 1.8 M GdnCl. The chaperone activity of alpha- crystallin was employed to study refolding of TSC. Here we studied the refolding of GdnCl denatured TSC from its molten globule state (TSC-m complex) in the presence and absence of alpha-crystallin to elucidate the molecular mechanism of chaperone-mediated in vitro folding. Our results, based on intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence and ANS binding studies, suggest that alpha-crystallin formed a complex with a putative intermediate molten globule - like intermediate in the refolding pathway of TSC. Reconstitution of the active TSC was observed on cooling the alpha-crystallin aEuro cent TSC -m complex to 4A degrees C. Addition of alpha-crystallin to the molten globule - like intermediate of TSC (TSC-m complex) complex initiated the refolding of TSC with 69 % recovery of the biological activity of the enzyme.</p>10aANS10aCellulase10aGuanidine hydrochloride10aProtein folding1 aJagtap, Sharmili1 aRao, Mala  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/fluorescence-study-interactions-alpha-crystallin-molten-globule-state-1-4-beta-d-glucan-0
