Abstract:Amphiphilic structured PEG derivatives consisting of octa(ethylene glycol) chains connected with aromatic vertices inhibited the thermally-induced lysozyme aggregation even when present at below 0.1 mM concentration. This concentration range is close to a 1:1 molar ratio with the additive and lysozyme, and was completely inaccessible for previously reported stabilizers. The possible mechanisms of the stabilizing actions revealed that the PEG-based amphiphiles do not in fact prevent aggregation at the molecular… Show more
