Abstract
In general, halophilic proteins are stable only in the presence of salts at high concentrations. Not only is high salt concentration important for structural stability of halophilic proteins, but also refolding of a denatured halophilic protein requires high salt concentration. This review summarizes the importance of electrostatic charge shielding and hydrophobic interactions in the stability and refolding of halophilic proteins.Entities:
