Zastosowanie wysokiego ciśnienia w biologii molekularnej i biotechnologii

The application of high pressure for biological macromolecules investigations was an objectof interest already in the beginning of this century. Recently, attention has been paid to thismethod because of its possible applications in biotechnology.In this paper, we summarized the data existing in the literature on the mechanism of highpressure effects on proteins and nucleic acids. We also reviewed various practical applicationsof high pressure, especially in food industry.
