The Solubility of Hen Lysozyme in Ethylammonium Nitrate/H2O Mixtures and a Novel Approach to Protein Crystallization

We report on the solubility of hen lysozyme (HEWL) in aqueous ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) as a function of water content. We find the solubility behavior to be complex, exhibiting both a maximum (400 mg/mL) at very high EAN content) and a minimum at intermediate EAN content. We exploit this solubili...
