CD assay buffers consisted of 10 mM KPi, pH 7.5, 10% glycerol, and 0.035% UDM with a given component at 50 mM of each.

SEM.

T_m value at which 50% protein unfolded.

The difference in T_m value when compared with apo (in WT) or the buffer containing Na⁺ (in D55C mutant).

Unpaired t test; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Completion of denaturation cannot be approached, so this value is an estimation based on the unfolded fraction.
