  • Title: Electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions play a major role in the stability and refolding of halophilic proteins.
    Author: Arakawa T, Tokunaga M.
    Journal: Protein Pept Lett; 2004 Apr; 11(2):125-32. PubMed ID: 15078200.
    Abstract:
    In general, halophilic proteins are stable only in the presence of salts at high concentrations. Not only is high salt concentration important for structural stability of halophilic proteins, but also refolding of a denatured halophilic protein requires high salt concentration. This review summarizes the importance of electrostatic charge shielding and hydrophobic interactions in the stability and refolding of halophilic proteins.
