Misfolding poses a serious problem in the biotechnological field in obtaining the activeprotein from inclusion bodies. Here we show that high temperature increases therefolding yield of reduced lyosyzme by a simple dilution method. The refolding yieldsat 98
C were three times higher than those at 20
C in the solutions tested, which isrelated to the fact that the thermally unfolded state of lysozyme is a more productiveform for folding than the denaturant-induced fully unfolded state. The thermal-assistedrefolding could be used for various reduced and denatured proteins as a result of itssimplicity and low cost.
