Entropy Changes in Water Networks Promote Protein Denaturation

Yichong Wang, Junlang Liu, Michael M. Peters, Ryoma Ishii, Dianzhuo Wang, Sourav Chowdhury, Kevin Kit Parker, Eugene I. Shakhnovich

This study identifies entropy changes in water networks as a mechanism for ion-induced protein denaturation, revealing an 'inverse hydrophobic effect' that promotes unfolding.
