Opposite Regulatory Effects of Immobilized Cations on the Folding Vs. Assembly of Melittin
Ions are crucial in modulating the protein structure. For the free ions in bulk solution, ammonium is kosmotropic (structure forming) and guanidinium is chaotropic (structure breaking) to the protein structure within the Hofmeister series. However, the effect of immobilized ions on a protein surface...
