why comparisons of the X-ray structures of hyperthermophilic enzymes with their mesophilic counterparts have failed to reveal any striking differences between them?

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. Covalent interactions almost same in thermophiles and mesophiles

  2. an increased size of the protein’s hydrophobic core

  3. Noncovalent interactions almost same in thermophiles and mesophiles

  4. Due to reduced surface-to-volume ratio
