title: Protein stabilization by blocking the native unfolding nucleus.
abstract: Studies on the thermal inactivation of immobilized enzymes result in a novel conception of protein stabilization. The native protein molecule is suggested to be characterized by a specific structural region where the unfolding process starts. Accordingly, enzyme stabilization by immobilization is the result of blocking this unfolding nucleus.
