The intent of this work is to bring together in a single volume the
techniques that are most widely used in the study of protein
stability and protein folding. Over the last decade our
understanding of how p- teins fold and what makes the folded
conformation stable has advanced rapidly. The development of
recombinant DNA techniques has made possible the production of
large quantities of virtually any protein, as well as the
production of proteins with altered amino acid sequence.
Improvements in instrumentation, and the development and refinement
of new techniques for studying these recombinant proteins, has been
central to the progress made in this field. To give the reader
adequate background information about the s- ject, the first two
chapters of this book review two different, yet related, aspects of
protein stability. The first chapter presents a review of our
current understanding of the forces involved in determining the
conf- mational stability of proteins as well as their
three-dimensional folds. The second chapter deals with the chemical
stability of proteins and the pathways by which their covalent
structure can degrade. The remainder of the book is devoted to
techniques used in the study of these two major areas of protein
stability, as well as several areas of active research. Although
some techniques, such as X-ray crystallography and mass
spectroscopy, are used in the study of protein stability, they are
beyond the scope of this book and will not be covered extensively.
