Summary

In this chapter, enzyme thermal stability is discussed from thermodynamic and kinetic perspectives. Kinetic and thermodynamic models of enzyme stability are developed and used in the determination of kinetic rate constants, steady-state free energy, enthalpy and entropy of denaturation. An example of the analysis of enzyme stability is also presented.
