    Analysis of the effect of 1-Allyl-3-Methylimidazolium chloride on thermodynamic stability, folding kinetics, and motional dynamics of horse cytochrome c
    (Elsevier B.V., 2022-09-08T00:00:00) Garg, Mansi; Sharma, Deepak; Kumar, Rajesh
    1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AMIMCl) acts as a potential green solvent for proteins. The present work provides a possible pathway by which the structural, kinetic, thermodynamic, and folding properties of horse cytochrome c (cyt c) are affected in green aqueous-AMIMCl systems. Analysis of the effect of AMIMCl on thermodynamic stability, refolding/unfolding kinetics, and motional dynamics of cyt c provided important information, (i) AMIMCl decreases the thermodynamic stability of reduced cyt c and also strengthens the guanidinium chloride (GdmCl)-mediated decrease in thermodynamic stability of protein, (ii) AMIMCl reduces the thermal-fluctuation of Met80-containing omega-loop of natively-folded compact state of carbonmonoxycytochrome c (MCO-state) due to polyfunctional interactions between the AMIM+ and different groups of protein, (iii) AMIMCl shifts the kinetic chevron plot, ln kobs[sbnd][GdmCl] to the lower concentration of GdmCl, (iv) AMIMCl shifts the refolding and unfolding limps to vertically downwards and upwards, respectively, and (v) AMIMCl reducing the unfolding free energy estimated by both thermodynamic and kinetic analysis. � 2022

    Effect of imidazolium based ionic liquids on CO-association dynamics and thermodynamic stability of Ferrocytochrome c
    (Elsevier B.V., 2020-11-05T00:00:00) Garg, Mansi; Kumar, Sandeep; Kaur, Anupamjeet; Goyal, Bhupesh; Kumar, Rajesh
    Analysis of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters measured for CO-association reaction of Ferrocytochrome c (Ferrocyt c) under variable concentrations of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium with varying anion ([Bmim]X) (X = Cl?, I?, Br?, HSO4?) at pH 7 revealed that the low concentration of [Bmim]X (?0.5 M) constrains the CO-association dynamics of Ferrocyt c and typically follows the order: [Bmim]HSO4 > [Bmim]Cl > [Bmim]Br > [Bmim]I. At relatively higher concentrations (>0.5), the chaotropic action of [Bmim]+ dominates which consequently increases the thermal-fluctuations responsible to denature the protein and thus accelerates the speed of CO-association reaction. Analysis of thermal denaturation curves of Ferrocyt c measured at different concentrations of [Bmim]X revealed that the [Bmim]X decreases the thermodynamic stability of protein and typically follows the order: [Bmim]I > [Bmim]Br > [Bmim]Cl > [Bmim]CH3COO > [Bmim]HSO4, demonstrating that the effect of [Bmim]X on thermodynamic stability of protein is not in accordance to Hofmeister series effect of anions because instead of increasing the kosmotropic anion carrying [Bmim]X ([Bmim]CH3COO and [Bmim]HSO4) also decreases the thermodynamic stability of protein. � 2020 Elsevier B.V.
