Research Abstract |
While proteins are denatured in a ionic liquid, the structure of proteins is not deformed at the water added ionic liquid in the certain condition. To study the protein denaturation, we performed molecular dynamics simulations of urea, guanidium and methanol solutions, which are typical denaturants, in the system having a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic part, and investigated the effect of the denaturants for the hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts.
