Summary

• This book provides an account of our current knowledge of protein stability. It demonstrates how an understanding of protein stability has emerged from investigations of protein denaturation/inactivation and from studies on stabilizing interactions in proteins. It also describes the stability characteristics of enzymes in nonaqueous media and the special adaptations of thermophilic proteins.
• Manipulation of protein stability is outlined in chapters on the use of additives, chemical modification of proteins in solution, immobilization, protein engineering and long-term storage of proteins. The book includes numerous case studies and copious references to original research papers and relevant reviews and monographs.
