title: The use of hydrostatic pressure as a tool to study viruses and other macromolecular assemblages.
abstract: Recent studies on the effect of pressure on macromolecular assemblages have provided new information on protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions. New findings have recently emerged on the use of hydrostatic pressure to assess intermediate states in the assembly pathways of viruses, multimeric proteins and protein-nucleic acid complexes, addressing many questions of macromolecular recognition.
