摘要：
The volume fraction occupied by the dry matter of the cell can be as large as 40%, of which more than half (-60%) are proteins. Thus, cellular proteins and protein assemblies occupy a large volume that can have a profound effect on their own native-state stabilities and on their unfolding/refolding rates. In addition, macromolecular crowding can change the properties of a significant fraction of the water in the cell. We review features of the molecular crowding effect which are relevant for describing the microscopic mechanism of thermal injuries.
