Endo-1,3-P-D-glucanase Le is a highly labile enzyme. It is especially sensitive to temperature, denaturating at 25 °C. The common approaches were unsuitable for its immobilization. 

Effects of hgand binding, pH, temperature, denaturant, and so on, are readily studied. 

As the balance between entropy and energy is by construction taken into account in the funnel landscape, temperature denaturation is conceptually explained. However, the down hill process does not clearly exhibit the free...

High temperature denatures bacterial enzymes and structural proteins. Because the life of the cell is dependent on the function of these proteins, the cell dies. 

Therefore, the stability of a duplex is a function of temperature. At high temperatures, denaturation is favored (the -T AS term dominates), but at lower temperatures duplexes are favored.The "melting temperature," Tm, corresponds to the temperature where AG = 0. Tm is related to the ratio of (G+C) / (A +T) because G-C base pairs have more hydrogen bonds (3) than A-T base pairs (2) and thus have a more positive Ah (Figure 4,32). 

The stability of dsDNA can be determined through a temperature denaturation study. Native dsDNA will denature to ssDNA as the temperature of the solution is increased. This is a reversible process, and the ssDNA will anneal to dsDNA on slowly cooling the denatured solution. This behavior can be followed spectroscopically (Fig. 6.11) by noting the increase in A260nm temperature, indicating the hyperchromic shift as the dsDNA denatures to ssDNA. The... 

Heating to high temperatures denatures the unstable proteins in white wines and accelerates flocculation during the cold treatment that follows. The protein deposit is then eliminated by fining. Most white wines will remain stable in the bottle at normal storage temperatures (6-24°C), and even at higher temperatures (30°C) if they are heated to 75°C for 10 min, then fined and filtered.
