Abstract excerpt
Using the IGg binding domain of protein L from Streptoccocal magnus (ProtL) as a case study, we investigated how the anions of the Hofmeister series affect protein stability. To that end, a suite of lysine-to-glutamine modifications were obtained and structurally and thermodynamically characterized. The changes in stability introduced with the mutation are related to the solvent-accessible area of the side chain,...
