Pressure Adaptations in Deep-Sea <i>Moritella</i> Dihydrofolate Reductases: Compressibility versus Stability

Proteins from “pressure-loving” piezophiles appear to adapt by greater compressibility via larger total cavity volume. However, larger cavities in proteins have been associated with lower unfolding pressures. Here, dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from a moderate piezophile <i>Moritella profunda...
