Abstract
Competition between protein-solvent and protein-protein interactions is arguably the most important contributing factor to polypeptide folding in general. A study of halophilic proteins, correlating their stability and solution structures in different conditions, focuses on the effects of a high salt solvent. A mechanism is proposed to explain how these proteins have adapted to such an extreme environment.Entities:
