## Abstract An understanding of the forces that contribute to stability is pivotal in solving the protein‐folding problem. Classical theory suggests that disulfide bonds stabilize proteins by reducing the entropy of the denatured state. More recent theories have attempted to expand this idea, sugge

The interpretation of A C 3 O (the free energy change for the reaction, globular conformation + randomly coiled conformation, in the absence of denaturant), in terms of the free energies of transfer of various parts of the protein molecule from water to denaturant solution, is unsatisfactory because
## Abstract In several experimental techniques D~2~O rather then H~2~O is often used as a solvent for proteins. Concerning the influence of the solvent on the stability of the proteins, contradicting results have been reported in literature. In this paper the influence of H~2~O–D~2~O solvent substi
The folded native state of a globular protein is noted to be marginally stabilized over the structureless unfolded state by various atomic/group interactions. Quantitative enumeration of these factors remains to be a difficult task to workers in the field. In this work we collect experimental inform
## Abstract The comparative study of proteins which differ in primary structure by point mutations permits one to use thermodynamic experiments to obtain information about the role of specific amino acids in determining protein structure and stability. We have now determined the thermodynamic chang
