Preferential interactions of proteins with salts in concentrated solutions

Arakawa, Tsutomu, Timasheff, Serge N.·1982·Biochemistry

Abstract

The preferential interactions of proteins with solvent components were studied in concentrated salt by densimetric measurements. Proteins were found to be preferentially hydrated in NaCl, NaCH3COO, and Na2SO4. The resulting unfavorable free-energy change was related to the effects of these salts on solubility and stability of the proteins. This unfavorable free-energy change was correlated with the large, positive surface tension increment of these salts, i.e., their perturbation of surface free energy. On the other hand, KSCN, CaCl2, and MgCl2 showed considerable binding to bovine serum albumin, which could be related to their destabilizing and salting-in effects on macromolecules. Since the last two salts have high surface tension increments, it was concluded that this does not necessarily lead to protein preferential hydration and stabilization.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
