Abstract
Recent studies on the effect of pressure on macromolecular assemblages have provided new information on protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions. New findings have recently emerged on the use of hy drostatic pressure to assess intermediate states in the assembly pathw ays of viruses, multimeric proteins and protein-nucleic acid complexes , addressing many questions of macromolecular recognition.
