Pressure Effects on Biochemical Systems

  • Conference paper
High Pressure Chemistry

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 41))

Abstract

A general review is given on pressure effects on: (1) conformational transitions in polypeptides, proteins, nucleic acids and membranes. Applications to anesthesia, lipid-protein interactions and the isolation of subcellular particles with the ultracentrifuge are discussed; (2) relaxation and transient kinetics of enzyme reactions and the interaction of dyes with nucleic acids; (3) molecular assembly is treated with ribosome subunit interaction, glutamate dehydrogenase and microtubuli as examples.
