Throughout the twenty-first century, the view on inclusion bodies (IBs) has shifted from undesired by-products towards a targeted production strategy for recombinant proteins …
Ionic liquids (ILs) present a vast number of solvents capable of replacing toxic organic solvents in chemical, biotechnology and biomedical applications. ILs are inexpensive and …
Reline, a mixture of urea and choline chloride in a 2: 1 molar ratio, is one of the most frequently used deep eutectic solvents. Pure reline and its aqueous solution have large …
Urea at sufficiently high concentration unfolds the secondary structure of proteins leading to denaturation. In contrast, choline chloride (ChCl) and urea, in 1: 2 molar ratio, form a deep …
Ionic liquids (ILs) are known to stabilize protein conformations in aqueous medium. Importantly, ILs can also act as refolding additives in urea-driven denaturation of proteins …
One of the major challenges in protein stability is that proteins can easily unfold in the presence of denaturants like urea, which alters the native structure of proteins. There are …
In nature, a wide range of biological processes such as transcription termination and intermolecular binding depend on the formation of specific DNA secondary and tertiary …
Ionic liquid (IL)–protein interaction studies are well documented; nonetheless, some families of ILs possess high toxicity which leads to the perturbation of biomolecules. However, ILs …
Room temperature ionic liquids (IL) and deep eutectic solvents (DES) are known to aid the conformational stability and activity of proteins and enzymes in aqueous solutions. They are …
