    GlossaryProtein Stability

    ability of a protein to maintain its functional shape

    Protein stability refers to the ability of a protein to maintain its three-dimensional structure under various conditions, such as changes in temperature, pH, or the presence of chemicals. For a layperson, think of it like a puzzle that needs to stay together to work properly; if the pieces fall apart, the puzzle is useless. For professionals, protein stability is crucial because it affects the protein's functionality and its potential use in medical or industrial applications.
