Abstract excerpt
To explore the effects of molecular crowding and excluded volume upon protein stability, we used a series of cross-linking reagents with nine different single-cysteine mutants of staphylococcal nuclease to make covalently linked dimers. These cross-linkers ranged in length from 10.5 to 21.3 A, compelling separations which would normally be found only in the most concentrated protein solutions. The stabilities of...
