PRESSURE AND PROTEIN DENATURATION [PDF]
Kinetic analyses have indicated that moderate hydrostatic pressures, up to some 700 atmospheres, oppose reversible and irreversible denaturations of certain enzyme systems, apparent at temperatures above the normal optimum of the enzyme reaction, as well as at lower temperatures in the presence of denaturants such as alcohol (1-4).

Cold and Warm Denaturation of Proteins
We introduce a simplified protein model where the water degrees of freedom appear explicitly (although in an extremely simplified fashion). Using this model we are able to recover both the warm and the cold protein denaturation within a single framework, while addressing important issues about the structure of model proteins.

Highly anomalous energetics of protein cold denaturation linked to folding-unfolding kinetics. [PDF]
Despite several careful experimental analyses, it is not yet clear whether protein cold-denaturation is just a "mirror image" of heat denaturation or whether it shows unique structural and energetic features. Here we report that, for a well-characterized

Irreversible denaturation of maltodextrin glucosidase studied by differential scanning calorimetry, circular dichroism, and turbidity measurements. [PDF]
Thermal denaturation of Escherichia coli maltodextrin glucosidase was studied by differential scanning calorimetry, circular dichroism (230 nm), and UV-absorption measurements (340 nm), which were respectively used to monitor heat absorption ...

Effects of Whey Protein Denaturation and Whey Protein/Casein Ratio on the Stability and Whipping Properties of Recombined Cream [PDF]
In this study, the effects of the denaturation degree of whey protein (WP) and whey protein/casein (WP/CN, m/m) ratio in milk powder on the emulsion stability and whipping properties of recombined cream were investigated.

The regulatory subunit of PKA-I remains partially structured and undergoes β-aggregation upon thermal denaturation [PDF]
Background: The regulatory subunit (R) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is a modular flexible protein that responds with large conformational changes to the binding of the effector cAMP.

Native protein denaturation using urea
Protocol Summary Here we present a new protocol to analyze protein unfolding kinetics using a quantified real-time thermocycler. This technique enables the analysis of a wide range of denaturants (and their interactions with temperature change) on ...
