Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history …

Enzymes synthesized by hyperthermophiles (bacteria and archaea with optimal growth
temperatures of> 80° C), also called hyperthermophilic enzymes, are typically thermostable …

High pressure homogenization profoundly impacted the globular protein aggregation, and
subsequently also its solubility and interfacial properties, using faba bean protein as model …

The study of biochemical adaption provides fascinating insights into how organisms" work"
and how they evolve to sustain physiological function under a vast array of environmental …

The sheer volume of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms that have been
generated in recent years from projects such as the Human Genome Project, the HapMap …

The removal of cell-bound water through air drying and the addition of water to air-dried
cells are forces that have played a pivotal role in the evolution of the prokaryotes. In bacterial …

One of the most challenging tasks in the development of protein pharmaceuticals is to deal
with physical and chemical instabilities of proteins. Protein instability is one of the major …

The moderate stability of enzymes is one of the main drawbacks that hinder general
implementation of these interesting biocatalysts at industrial scale. An especially complex …

The α-, β-and γ-crystallins are the major protein components of the vertebrate eye lens, α-
crystallin as a molecular chaperone as well as a structural protein, β-and γ-crystallins as …

Temperature profoundly influences physiological responses in animals, primarily due to the
effects on biochemical reaction rates. Since physiological responses are often exemplified …
