Developing recombinant protein pharmaceuticals has proved to be very challenging
because of both the complexity of protein production and purification, and the limited …

Lyophilization is a promising approach to ensure the long-term stability of liposomes. After
decades of studies in this field, different lyoprotective mechanisms, such as water …

FT-IR spectroscopy has become a powerful research tool for elucidating the structure,
physical properties and interactions of carbohydrates. It provides a new interpretive and …

Trehalose is a disaccharide of glucose that is found at high concentrations in a wide variety
of organisms that naturally survive drying in nature. Many years ago we reported that this …

Anhydrobiotes can resist complete dehydration and survive the dry state for extended
periods of time. During drying, cytoplasmic viscosity increases dramatically and in the dry …

Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the hydrogen-bonding
interactions that take place in vitrified carbohydrates of different chain lengths. The band …

A heat-soluble protein present in substantial quantities in Typha latifolia pollen was purified
to homogeneity. The protein was subjected to cyanogen bromide cleavage, and the …

Anhydrobiosis is an extremely dehydrated state in which organisms show no detectable
metabolism but retain the ability to revive after rehydration. Thus far, two hypotheses have …

This introductory chapter summarizes some of the current answers to questions (how do
plants survive desiccation? and how does surviving desiccation affect plant survival?) and …
