TL;DR

It will be shown that high pressure is a powerful tool both for the study of bio-macromolecules such as protein conformation, protein-protein interactions and the modulation of enzymatic activity etc. and for study of biotechnological application.

Abstract

The goal of this mini review is to explain how hydrostatic pressure acts on bio-macromolecules(mainly on protein), giving some basic knowledge. Moreover, it will be shown that high pressure is a powerful tool both for the study of bio-macromolecules such as protein conformation, protein-protein (or protein-nucleic acid, or protein-ligands) interactions and the modulation of enzymatic activity etc. and for study of biotechnological application.
