Abstract

The application of hydrostatic pressure is a well-known method for studying protein dynamics and hydration. The aims of this review are to provide a brief introduction to the thermodynamic principles of the effects of pressure on proteins and to extend such principles to the stability of proteins in solution. Finally, we refer to the significance of water for living organisms from a thermodynamic perspective.
