Thermal and chemical unfolding and refolding of a eukaryotic sodium channel [PDF]
Voltage-gated sodium channels are dynamic membrane proteins essential for signaling in nervous and muscular systems. They undergo substantial conformational changes associated with the closed, open and inactivated states.

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 (

Evidence of β-sheet structure induced kinetic stability of papain upon thermal and sodium dodecyl sulphate denaturation [PDF]
Papain is a protease that consists of α-helical and β-sheet domains which unfold almost independently. Both, papain considerable thermal stability and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) resistance have been shown.

Irreversible thermal denaturation of human carbonic anhydrase [PDF]
Carbonic Anhydrase (CA; carbonate hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.1)), a zinc containing enzyme, catalyzes reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. This metalloenzyme is found in animals, photosynthesizing organisms, and in some nonphotosynthetic bacteria. Thermal

Electrospinning enables the hierarchical assembly of nanofiber‐based scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, encapsulated proteins often undergo structural changes. This study used mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as protective carriers, mitigating protein denaturation and supporting controlled release.

Rheological characterization of the thermal gelation of cowpea protein isolates: Effect of pretreatments with high hydrostatic pressure or calcium addition [PDF]
Pretreatments with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) or calcium addition were assessed for thermal gelation of two cowpea protein isolates (protein extraction at pHs 8.0, standard (A8) or 10.0, pH-shifting-modified (A10).
