Published: October 2011

Pressure perturbation calorimetry (PPC) is a new technique that makes possible to study the volumetric changes that occur upon protein unfolding. Here, we summarize the thermodynamic foundation of the method and introduce a two-state model for the analysis of the unfolding data monitored by PPC. Several examples of data analysis illustrating potential pitfalls and solutions are discussed.
