A hyper
thermophile
likes it even hotter than the thermophile, up to temperatures that are boiling - and above! This seems like a paradox, since
protein
will break down at 100+° but many
archaea
manage by special outer coats that protect them. These S-layers have an amazingly stable structure, that is expensive to produce. It is not that these
organisms
are 'hanging on' in these conditions - this is their optimum temperature. They grow poorly below 60° a heat that most would find unbearable. Some techniques that they use to stabilise their proteins include:
N - C terminal bonding to prevent
fraying
.
Networks of
salt bridge
s.
Highly charged surfaces.
Cysteine
