An integrated approach to protein stability in thermophilic organisms

Objective

The proposal aims at identifying the intrinsic structural factors that confer thermopile proteins higher thermo stability. A comparative study of wild type and mutant plastocyanin will be performed using a variety of chemical-chemical and spectroscopic techniques.
