摘要: Quantitative interpretation and prediction of Hofmeister ion effects on protein processes, including folding crystallization, have been elusive goals a century research. Here, quantitative thermodynamic analysis, developed to treat noncoulombic interactions solutes with biopolymer surface recently extended analyze the salts tension water, is applied literature solubility data for small hydrocarbons model peptides. This analysis allows us obtain minimum estimate hydration b1 (H2O A−2), hydrocarbon partition coefficients Kp, characterizing distribution salt ions between this water bulk water. Assuming that Na+ SO42− Na2SO4 (the giving largest reduction in as well increase tension) are fully excluded from at surface, we same air-water (∼0.18 H2O A−2). Ran...
