Abstract
Proteins undergo unfolding when lowering the temperature by means of a process known as cold denaturation. Pure cold denaturation (without denaturants) is obtained at high pressures. In this paper, a recent proposal to explain the cold denaturation process based on the high density liquid state of water [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 138103 (2003)] is described in detail. The correct understanding of this process may be useful to artificially implement activation and inactivation of proteins at room temperatures with direct applications into the word of nanobiotechnology machinery.
