DETERMINATION OF THE TEMPERATURES OF THE TRANSITION INTO THE VISCOELASTIC STATE, DENATURATION, AND THE ONSET OF INTENSIVE DESTRUCTION OF PROTEINS WITH VARIOUS STRUCTURES

The temperatures of the transition into the viscoelastic state, denatu ration, and the onset of intensive destruction were calculated by addi tive schemes for 32 proteins. Contributions of strong interactions (di pole-dipole contacts and hydrogen bonds) into the partial contribution s of the characteristic temperatures of amino acid residues (including the glass transition temperature) were refined. The calculated result s agree with available experimental data.
