Abstract

Recent progress in thermodynamic aspects of protein function in unusual environments are described. Systems considered include enzymes incorporated in reverse micelles, immobilized onto solid support or suspended in low-water solvents.

Zusammenfassung

Es werden die bisherigen Ergebnisse bei der Untersuchung thermodynamischer Aspekte von Proteinfunktionen in ungewöhnlicher Umgebung beschrieben. Untersuchte Systeme beinhalten Enzyme, die in reversen, auf fester Unterlage immobilisierten oder in Lösungsmitteln suspendierten Mizellen eingeschlossen wurden.
