| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To investigate how peptide hormones maintain/develop their biologically active conformation during molecular evolution, the folding of precursor proteins including prouroguanylin were estimated in vitro. Our results indicated that i)the stability of the biologically active conformation of the mature region is strongly related to the correct folding of their precursor proteins, ii)precursor protein possesses a region to accelerate molecular evolution, iii)precursor protein possesses a region to inhibit molecular evolution, iv)correct folding of prevursor protein requires mis-folded molecular species to establish the correct conformation of prouroguanylin
