Abstract excerpt
This review outlines the effect of disease-causing mutations on proteins' thermodynamics. Two major thermodynamics quantities, which are essential for structural integrity, the folding and binding free energy changes caused by missense mutations, are considered. It is emphasized that disease effects in case of complex diseases may originate from several mutations over several genes, while monogenic diseases are...
