Biomolecular Cryoprotection in Deep Eutectic Solvents

DOI

Protecting biomolecules, such as proteins and enzymes, from the effects of cooling and freezing is important for the storage and handling of pharmaceuticals. Deep eutectic solvents provide a possible alternative biocompatible solvent that will prevent degradation of these delicate molecules. We propose to study the temperature dependent structure of proteins in a variety of deep eutectic solvents. These structural studies will be combined with calorimetric data and SAXS data to understand the mechanism of biomolecular cryoprotection.
