摘要: We have studied the reaction native denatured for 33-kDa protein isolated from photosystem II. Sucrose and glycerol profound effects on pressure-induced unfolding. The additives shift equilibrium to left; they also cause a significant decrease in standard volume change (DeltaV). DeltaV was related sucrose concentrations. varied with additive: caused largest effect, smallest. theoretical of half-unfolding pressure (P-1/2) calculated net increase free energy by addition lower than that obtained experimental mea- surements. This indicates preferential hydration is not unique factor involved stabilization. reduction showed large contribution P-1/2 shift, suggesting change, or associated origin discussed. rate unfolding presence slower refolding although both were significantly observed without any stabilizers.
