Statistical mechanics of warm and cold unfolding in proteins

The European Physical Journal B - Condensed Matter and Complex Systems Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract:

We present a statistical mechanics treatment of the stability of globular proteins which takes explicitly into account the coupling between the protein and water degrees of freedom. This allows us to describe both the cold and the warm unfolding, thus qualitatively reproducing the known thermodynamics of proteins.
