Abstract excerpt
Denaturant-induced unfolding is one of the most prevalent means of evaluating the structural stability of proteins and of determining the energetic consequences of mutations or changes in solution conditions. In spite of the widespread use of this approach, controversies and inconsistencies still persist with regard to the interpretation of the results of such studies. For example, most proteins show either a...
