Why is the stability of a protein evaluated with FoldX expressed as a positive value?

As I understand it, the folding energy of a protein is usually expressed as a negative value. ΔG < 0 is expected for maintaining the native state in the folding condition. However, when...

Could an abundance of exposed positive charge on the surface of proteins affect size exclusion chromatography performance?

Hello, I am analyzing purified antibodies using a superdex 200 increase 10/300 GL column. Occasionally, I observe tailing at the peak, particularly with antibodies that have high surface...

Can the presence of a charged molecule in close proximity affect the pKa?

I am curious whether the pKa of a charged side chain on the surface of a protein can be influenced by the charged state of nearby amino acids. My hypothesis suggests that, in comparing Figure 1A...

Is it possible for the pKa shft when identical charges are densely packed?

If aspartic acid residues are densely packed and the distance between their side chain functional groups is close, I believe that the pKa might upshift to reduce charge repulsion. Is my...

Is the pH lower than the endosomal lumen at the location immediately adjacent to the membrane?

In the case of amino acids such as Asp and Glu, it is generally known that the charge state can change due to protonation when exposed to the acidic pH in the endosome. (e.g. DT toxin - TL5 loop...
