The functional structure of proteins results from marginally stable folded conformations. Reversible unfolding, irreversible denaturation, and deterioration can be caused by chemical and physical agents due to changes in the physicochemical conditions of

Papain denaturation is not a two‐state transition
. Even proteins such as lysozyme [2] which has a cleft in the middle and parvalbumin [3] which consists of two distinct domains are denatured without stable intermediate states. This led to a tempting conclusion that all small globular proteins built of one poly- peptide chain represent a single cooperative system.

Honey-Induced Protein Stabilization as Studied by Fluorescein Isothiocyanate Fluorescence
Protein stabilizing potential of honey was studied on a model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), using extrinsic fluorescence of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) as the probe.

Alpha-crystallin protein performs structural and chaperone functions in the lens and comprises alphaA and alphaB subunits at a molar ratio of 3:1. The highly complex alpha-crystallin structure challenges structural biologists because of its large dynamic

Coil–globule transition in the denatured state of a small protein [PDF]
Upon transfer from strongly denaturing to native conditions, proteins undergo a collapse that either precedes folding or occurs simultaneously with it. This collapse is similar to the well known coil–globule transition of polymers. Here we employ single-molecule fluorescence methods to fully characterize the equilibrium coil–globule ...

Calorimetric and spectroscopic investigation of the unfolding of human apolipoprotein B.
The unfolding of human apolipoprotein B-100 in its native lipid environment, low density lipoprotein (LDL), and in a soluble, lipid-free complex with sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) has been examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and near UV ...

Calorimetric Study of Helix aspersa Maxima Hemocyanin Isoforms
The thermal unfolding of hemocyanin isoforms, β-HaH and αD+N-HaH, isolated from the hemolymph of garden snails Helix aspersa maxima, was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). One transition, with an apparent transition temperature (
