Protein-Solvent Shape Complementarity as a Unifying Principle in Excipient-Mediated Protein Thermal Stability

Jonathan W. P. Zajac, Praveen Muralikrishnan, Xianci Zeng…·Sapna Sarupria

The paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to identify a unifying mechanism for excipient-mediated protein thermal stability based on shape complementarity between proteins and solvents.
