Abstract

Hydrostatic pressure is an essential physical parameter for studying the structure, dynamics, phase behavior, and free-energy landscape of biomolecular systems. High pressure is an important feature of certain natural environments, and pressure effects on biosystems are of increasing interest for biotechnological applications. Here, we focus on the pressure-dependent activity of enzymes in different environments, from bulk solution to various interfaces. Results were obtained using a high-pressure stopped-flow methodology and high-pressure total internal reflection fluorescence spectroscopy. We highlight that pressure can enhance enzyme activity in various environments, contributing to the fundamental understanding of life under extreme conditions, and elucidate new ways to optimize biotechnological processes.
