Interactions between L-arginine/L-arginine derivatives and lysozyme and implications to their inhibition effects on protein aggregateion Mingtao Gao, Xiao-Yan Dong, Yan Sun* Department of Biochemical Engineering and Key Laboratory of Systems Bioengineering of the Ministry of Education, School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China Supplementary data 1 Figure S1. Thermodynamic parameters for the interactions between the additives and lysozyme in the presence of 0.545 M GdnHCl. The H and S were obtained directly from the data fittings, and the G was then calculated using the equation 𝐺 = 𝐻 − 𝑇𝑆. The numbers (1-3) represent the three binding sites. 2 Figure S2. Mass spectrum of GdnHCl in aqueous solution at 0.545 M. 3 Figure S3. Mass spectrum of Arg (0.2 M) in the aqueous solution of 0.545 M GdnHCl. 4 Figure S4. Mass spectrum of HArg (0.2 M) in the aqueous solution of 0.545 M GdnHCl. 5 Figure S5. Mass spectrum of ArgME (0.2 M) in the aqueous solution of 0.545 M GdnHCl. 6 Figure S6.
