AbstractCold shock protein (Csp) is a typical two-state folding model protein which has been widely studied by biochemistry and single molecule techniques. Recently two-state property of Csp was confirmed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) through direct pulling measurement, while several long-lifetime intermediate states were found by force-clamp AFM. We systematically studied force-dependent folding and unfolding dynamics of Csp using magnetic tweezers with intrinsic constant force capability. Here we report that Csp mostly folds and unfolds with a single step over force range from 5 pN to 50 pN, and the unfolding rates show different force sensitivities at forces below and above ~8 pN, which determines a free energy landscape with two barriers and a transient intermediate state between them along one transition pathway. Our results provide a new insight on protein folding mechanism of two-state proteins.
