Stability curves showing different methods to achieve a higher Tm. Starting with a stability curve for a hypothetical mesophilic protein (solid line), the protein may increase Tm by shifting the curve up (method I [diamonds]), by making the curve flatter (method II [circles]), or by shifting the curve to the right (method III [squares]). The thermodynamic bases and explanations for all these methods are discussed in the text.
