Abstract

We determined the added enthalpic and entropic contributions of protective osmolytes to the folding of a model peptide into its native β-hairpin state. In contrast to entropically driven steric "crowding", this study shows that sugars and polyols can act as protective osmolytes by primarily diminishing the unfavourable enthalpic contribution to folding.
