A protic ionic liquid attenuates the deleterious actions of urea on α-chymotrypsin

Abstract

We present a biocompatible ionic liquid, triethyl ammonium acetate (TEAA), that attenuates the denaturation action of a non-ionic chaotrope, urea, on the industrially relevant proteolytic enzyme α-chymotrypsin.
