Abstract excerpt
It is known that several naturally occurring substances known as osmolytes increase the conformational stability of proteins. Bolen and co-worker proposed the osmophobic theory, which asserts the osmolyte effect occurs because of an unfavorable interaction of osmolytes mainly with the protein bac...
