The physical foundation of protein architecture / Nobuhiko Saito, Yukio Kobayashi.
A protein requires its own three-dimensional structure for its biological activity. If a chemical agent is added, the biological activity is lost, and the three dimensional structure is destroyed to become a random coil state. But when the chemical agent is removed, the biological activity is recove...
