[NMR paper] Interactions between the protein barnase and co-solutes studied by NMR
Interactions between the protein barnase and co-solutes studied by NMR
Protein solubility and stability depend on the co-solutes present. There is little theoretical basis for selection of suitable co-solutes. Some guidance is provided by the Hofmeister series, an empirical ordering of anions according to their effect on solubility and stability; and by osmolytes, which are small organic molecules produced by cells to allow them to function in stressful environments. Here, NMR titrations of the protein barnase with Hofmeister anions and osmolytes are used to...
