Stabilization of partially folded states in protein folding/misfolding transitions by hydrostatic pressure
In the last few years, hydrostatic pressure has been extensively used in the study of both protein folding and misfolding/aggregation. Compared to other chemical or physical denaturing agents, a unique feature of pressure is its ability to induce subtle changes in protein conformation, which allow t...
