Using Differential Scanning Calorimetry in Understanding the Correlation Between Thermal Stability and Protein Stability: A Case Study
During the lifetime of a therapeutic protein it will be subjected to different conditions during processing and storage that can often involve low pH, different buffer components and ionic strengths, and thermal fluctuations during storage and transportation. In addition, it must be stable in the final formulation for several years, often at very high protein concentrations. The final drug prod...
متن کاملDesignability and Thermal Stability of Protein Structures
Only about 1,000 qualitatively different protein folds are believed to exist in nature. Here, we review theoretical studies which suggest that some folds are intrinsically more designable than others, i.e. are lowest energy states of an unusually large number of sequences. The sequences associated with these folds are also found to be unusually thermally stable. The connection between highly de...
متن کاملProtein Stability, Folding, Disaggregation and Etiology of Conformational Malfunctions
Estimation of protein stability is important for many reasons: first providing an understanding of the basic thermodynamics of the process of folding, protein engineering, and protein stability plays important role in biotechnology especially in food and protein drug design. Today, proteins are used in many branches, including industrial processes, pharmaceutical industry, and medical fields. A...
متن کاملInfluence of taxol and CNTs on the stability analysis of protein microtubules
Microtubules are used as targets for anticancer drugs due to their crucial role in the process of mitosis. Recent studies show that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be classified as microtubule-stabilizing agents as they interact with protein microtubules (MTs), leading to interference in the mitosis process. CNTs hold a substantial promising application in cancer therapy in conjunction with other c...
متن کاملHuman RAD52 protein has extreme thermal stability.
The human RAD52 protein plays an important role in the earliest stages of chromosomal double-strand break repair via the homologous recombination pathway. Individual subunits of RAD52 associate into seven-membered rings. These rings can form higher order complexes. RAD52 binds to DNA breaks, and recent studies suggest that the higher order self-association of the rings promotes DNA end joining....
