1. Perplexing Protein Puzzles
Abstract : Protein structure and stability are inherent in the amino acid sequence and governed by non-covalent interactions. The cooperation between forces is, however, perplexing and not well understood. In order to elucidate and predict protein folding and stability, detailed studies of non-covalent interactions are required. READ MORE

2. On the mechanism of Urea-induced protein denaturation
Abstract : It is well known that folded proteins in water are destabilized by the addition of urea. When a protein loses its ability to perform its biological activity due to a change in its structure, it is said to denaturate. READ MORE

3. Protein Misfolding in Human Diseases
Abstract : There are several diseases well known that are due to aberrant protein folding. These types of diseases can be divided into three main categories:Loss-of-function diseasesGain-of-toxic-function diseasesInfectious misfolding diseases Most loss-of-function diseases are caused by aberrant folding of important proteins.

4. The Interaction Between the Chaperonin GroEL and Human Carbonic Anhydrase II : Protein Folding and Stability Studies
Abstract : The presence of GroEL/ES during the refolding of human carbonic anhydrase II was found to increase the yield of active enzyme from approx. 70 to approx. 100%. This chaperone action on the enzyme could be obtained by adding GroEL alone, and the time course in that case was only moderately slower than the spontaneous process. READ MORE

5. The Influence of Salting Procedures on the Characteristics of Heavy Salted Cod
Abstract : The production of heavy salted cod (bacalao) has changed from being a single-step process salting to a multistep procedure. The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of water retention and yields of heavy salted cod as influenced by salting procedures. READ MORE
