Protein stability: still an unsolved problem.

Abstract excerpt

This brief review suggests that molecular packing, the efficient filling of space, may be the most generally applicable factor that leads to the unique structures of most globular proteins. While simple in concept, the details of packing can lead to very subtle effects. The mechanical properties of a protein, dynamics and deformations under stress, tend to be asymmetric. In terms of structural alterations and...
