Popis: Part of the solution: A PEG with a discrete triangular structure exhibits hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity switching upon increasing temperatures, and suppresses the thermal aggregation of lysozyme to retain nearly 80 % of the enzymatic activity. CD and NMR spectroscopic studies revealed that, with the structured PEG, the higher-order structures of lysozyme persist at high temperature, and the native conformation is recovered after cooling.
