Abstract excerpt
Proteins from halophilic microorganisms thriving at high salinity have an excess of charged carboxylate groups, and it is widely believed that this gives rise to an exceptionally strong hydration that stabilizes these proteins against unfolding and aggregation. Here, we examine this hypothesis by...
