Abstract

It is of great interest to determine how solutes such as urea, sugars, guanidinium salts, and trimethylamine N-oxide affect the stability, solubility, and solvation of globular proteins. A key hypothesis in this field states that solutes affect protein stability indirectly by making or breaking water structure. We used a new technique, pressure perturbation calorimetry, to measure the temperature dependence of a solute's partial compressibility. Using fundamental thermodynamic relations, we converted these data to the pressure dependence of the partial heat capacity to examine the impact of protein stabilizing and denaturing solutes on water structure by applying the classic two-state mixture model for water. Contrary to widely held expectations, we found no correlation between a solute's impact on water structure and its effect on protein stability. Our results indicate that efforts to explain solute effects should focus on other hypotheses, including those based on preferential interaction and excluded volume.

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.
