Formation of glasses from liquids and biopolymers.

TL;DR: The onset of a sharp change in ddT( is the Debye-Waller factor and T is temperature) in proteins, which is controversially indentified with the glass transition in liquids, is shown to be general for glass formers and observable in computer simulations of strong and fragile ionic liquids, where it proves to be close to the experimental glass transition temperature.

Dominant forces in protein folding

TL;DR: The present review aims to provide a reassessment of the factors important for folding in light of current knowledge, including contributions to the free energy of folding arising from electrostatics, hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions, intrinsic propensities, and hydrophobic interactions.

The role of vitrification in anhydrobiosis.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented here showing that trehalose has a remarkably high glass-transition temperature (Tg), which makes this sugar useful in stabilization of biomolecules of use in human welfare and may explain the stability and longevity of anhydrobiotes that contain it.
