Analytical techniques used to study the degradation of proteins and peptides: physical instability

The physical instability of proteins and peptides as well as the various an alytical techniques used to study the various aspects of physical instabili ty have been reviewed. Physical instability of proteins and peptides involv e changes in secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of these compoun ds. After a general introduction of the subject the literature data of thes e changes and their analytical aspects have been summarized in a Table. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
