Abstract excerpt
The origin of reduced heat capacity change of unfolding (DeltaC(p)) commonly observed in thermophilic proteins is controversial. The established theory that DeltaC(p) is correlated with change of solvent-accessible surface area cannot account for the large differences in DeltaC(p) observed for thermophilic and mesophilic homologous proteins, which are very similar in structures. We have determined the protein...
