Amino acids act as ‘anti-salt’: New insight into how small molecules stabilize proteins

Biologists have long known that amino acids can help stabilize proteins, for example as additives to pharmaceutical formulations. In trying to understand why this works, EPFL and MIT researchers have discovered a fundamental stabilizing effect of all small molecules, creating exciting possibilities for controlling particles in solution.
