Determining the importance of hydrogen bond strength on the mechanical stability of proteins

Proteins are only marginally stable at room temperature and can easily be unfolded when subjected to denaturants such as chemicals or mechanical forces. Despite this, proteins are able to maintain a unique 3D structure held together by interactions such as hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions...
