Journal ArticleDOI

Revisiting volume changes in pressure-induced protein unfolding

TL;DR: There is evidence that, due to differences in the thermal expansivity of the folded and unfolded states of proteins reported in a half dozen manuscripts, that the sign of the volume change may become positive at higher temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pressure provides new insights into protein folding, dynamics and structure.

TL;DR: Kinetic studies under pressure enable dissection of the roles of packing and cavities in folding, and in assembly of multimolecular structures such as protein-DNA complexes and viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cavities determine the pressure unfolding of proteins

TL;DR: The promise of pressure perturbation is illustrated as a unique tool for examining the roles of packing, conformational fluctuations, and water penetration as determinants of solution properties of proteins, and for detecting folding intermediates and other structural details of protein-folding landscapes that are invisible to standard experimental approaches.
