When combined with NMR spectroscopy, high hydrostatic pressure is an alternative perturbation method used to destabilize globular proteins that has proven to be particularly well suited for exploring the unfolding energy...
Sensory rhodopsin II (pSRII), a retinal-binding photophobic receptor from Natronomonas pharaonis, is a novel model system for membrane protein folding studies. Recently, the SDS-denatured states and the kinetics for reversible...
There are very few generic methods to assess the stability and functional properties of membrane proteins solubilized in detergent. For this purpose, a thiol-reactive fluorochrome...
Many rare and valuable ancient specimens now carry the scars of ancient DNA research, as questions of population genetics and phylogeography require larger sample sets. This fuels the demand for reliable techniques to screen for...
The biophysical stability is an important parameter for protein activity both in vivo and in vitro. Here we propose a method to analyse thermal melting of protein domains in lysates: Fast parallel proteolysis (FASTpp). Combining...
Consensus-designed tetratricopeptide repeat proteins are highly stable, modular proteins that are strikingly amenable to rational engineering. They therefore have tremendous potential as building blocks for biomaterials and...
