β¦ Synopsis
The technique of protein stabilization has been improving steadily in recent years, but it is only in the past year or two that the stability of some protein molecules has been improved to the level of those from extreme thermophilic organisms. This was achieved by multiple mutations and often by utilizing the knowledge gained from the homologous protein structures from extreme thermophiles.

The carbonation of anhydrous and hydrated calcium silicates results in a stabilized silica structure which retains the morphology of the precarbonated material. The stable silica structure may be useful in the study of morphologies and pore structures which originated in the original hydrated system
## Abstract The probability of occurrence of helix and Ξ²βsheet residues in 47 globular proteins was determined as a function of local hydrophobicity, which was defined by the sum of the NozakiβTanford transfer free energies at two nearestβneighbors on both sides of the amino acid sequence. In gener
