Abstract
While exploring the behavior of lysozyme powders at different percentages of rehydration by differential scanning calorimetry, we noticed a small peak persistently on the left of the melting point of bulk water, which, when heating up the system, was always around −10 °C. The intensity of the transition was maximal at 160% rehydration and disappeared at higher values. By comparing the premelting peak properties in H2O and D2O, we attributed it to freezable water bound on the protein surface. This is the first time that such an observation has been reported.
期刊介绍：
ACS Physical Chemistry Au is an open access journal which publishes original fundamental and applied research on all aspects of physical chemistry. The journal publishes new and original experimental computational and theoretical research of interest to physical chemists biophysical chemists chemical physicists physicists material scientists and engineers. An essential criterion for acceptance is that the manuscript provides new physical insight or develops new tools and methods of general interest. Some major topical areas include:Molecules Clusters and Aerosols; Biophysics Biomaterials Liquids and Soft Matter; Energy Materials and Catalysis
