Abstract

In spite of its wide application to protein refolding, purification, and storage, we have not yet addressed a general solution to the mechanism of the effects of arginine hydrochloride on proteins. To elucidate the mechanism of the effects on proteins, several attempts have been reported. In this review, we would review the attempts from thermodynamic and kinetic viewpoints.

Keywords: ArgHCl, guanidine, protein aggregation, preferential interaction, solubility, surface tension

Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes and explores biological data. This field combines biology and information system. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted great attention as it tries to replicate human intelligence. It has become common technology for analyzing and solving complex data and problems and encompasses sub-fields of machine ...read more
