The thermal unfolding of a recombinant monoclonal antibody IgG1 (mAb) was measured with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The DSC thermograms reveal a pretransition at 72°C with an unfolding enthalpy of ΔHcal ∼200-300 kcal/mol and a main transition at 85°C with an enthalpy of ∼900-1000 kcal/mol. In contrast to small single-domain proteins, mAb unfolding is a complex reaction that is analyzed with the multistate Zimm-Bragg theory. For the investigated mAb, unfolding is characterized by a cooperativity parameter σ ∼6 × 10-
