Single-Molecule Studies Reveal That Water Starts to Protect Proteins Even at the ppm Level
Abstract A consensus established by extensive thermodynamic and structural studies of proteins and DNA is that water acts as an indispensable structural cofactor rather than a passive solvent for biomolecules. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether trace water still exerts a stabilizing effect on proteins under ultra...
