## Abstract The pressure‐induced structural changes of a de novo designed four‐helix bundle protein, (α‐l‐α)~2~, in aqueous solution have been investigated by FTIR spectroscopy. Changes in the amide I' band intensity show that pressure induces disruption of tertiary interactions and stabilizes the
The stability of ␣-chymotrypsin and ␦-chymotrypsin was studied in reversed micelles of sodium bis(2ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane. ␣-Chymotrypsin is inactivated at the interface and at the water pool, while ␦-chymotrypsin is inactivated only at the water pool. The mechanism of inactiva
