Dipicolinic acid forms a complex with ] within the endospore core. This complex binds free water molecules, causing dehydration of the spore. As a result, the heat resistance of macromolecules within the core increases. The calcium-dipicolinic acid complex also functions to protect ] from heat denaturation by inserting itself between the ], thereby increasing the stability of DNA.<ref>Madigan. M, Martinko.

==Detection==
A Jet Propulsion Laboratory chemist has developed technology to perform high speed, large area assessments of sterilization by searching for dipicolinic acid as an indicator of spores, being the hardiest of life forms. ] can more rapidly be ascertained, as well as the sterility of medical equipment and facilities.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}}
The high concentration of DPA in and specificity to bacterial endospores has long made it a prime target in analytical methods for the detection and measurement of bacterial endospores. A particularly important development in this area was the demonstration by Rosen ''et al.'' of an assay for DPA based on ] in the presence of ],<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Rosen|first1=D.L.|last2=Sharpless|first2=C.|last3=McGown|first3=L.B.|title=Bacterial Spore Detection and Determination by Use of Terbium Dipicolinate Photoluminescence|journal=Analytical Chemistry|date=1997|volume=69|issue=6|pages=1082–1085|doi=10.1021/ac960939w}}</ref> although this phenomenon was first investigated for using DPA in an assay for terbium by Barela and Sherry.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Barela|first1=T.D.|last2=Sherry|first2=A.D.|title=A simple, one step fluorometric method for determination of nanomolar concentrations of terbium|journal=Analytical Biochemistry|date=1976|volume=71|issue=2|pages=351–357|doi=10.1016/s0003-2697(76)80004-8|pmid=1275238}}</ref>
