Evaluation of Hofmeister effects on the kinetic stability of proteins

Article Abstract:

Dissolved salts are known to affect properties of proteins in solution including solubility and melting temperature, and the effects of dissolved salts can be ranked qualitatively by the Hofmeister series. A number of salt properties that are proposed indicators of Hofmeister effects as a means for predicting salt effects on the deactivation alcohol dehydrogenase, alpha-Chymotrypsin, and monomeric red fluorescent protein were considered.

Calculation of hydration effects in the binding of anionic ligands to basic proteins

Article Abstract:

The accurate calculation of the energetics of electrostatistically driven binding of amino acid residues to other amino acids or to synthetic molecules is significant in many physiological and technological processes. It is concluded that commonly used continuum methods are inadequate for describing fine differences in the binding of similarly charged ligands to a target protein.

A comparison of the inner-sphere reorganization energies of cytochromes, iron-sulfur clusters, and blue copper proteins

Article Abstract:

The inner-sphere reorganization energy of several types of iron-sulfur clusters, both in a vacuum and in the protein is studied. The study provides an opportunity to contrast the various sites and to discuss how they have optimized their electron-transfer function.
