Several diverse proteins are found to readily dissolve in neat low-transition-temperature mixtures (LTTMs). They undergo no irreversible denaturation in such unusual solvents, and the resistance of hen egg-white lysozyme against thermoinactivation in LTTMs is greater than in aqueous solution at extreme pHs. Separately, the water-sensitive drug aspirin is found to form concentrated transparent LTTMs, where it is some 10-fold more stable against cleavage than in water.
人们发现几种不同的蛋白质很容易溶解在纯的低转变温度混合物(LTTMs)中。在这种不同寻常的溶剂中,它们不会发生不可逆的变性,并且在LTTMs中,鸡蛋清溶菌酶对热失活的抗性比在极端pH值的水溶液中更强。另外,人们发现对水敏感的药物阿司匹林能形成浓缩透明的LTTMs,在其中它比在水中对分解的稳定性大约高10倍。
