Abstract
Understanding how the crowded and complex cellular milieu affects protein stability and dynamics has only recently become possible by using techniques such as in-cell nuclear magnetic resonance. However, the combination of stabilizing and destabilizing interactions makes simple predictions difficult. Here we show the potential of Danio rerio oocytes as an in-cell nuclear magnetic resonance model that can be widely used to measure protein stability and dynamics. We demonstrate that in eukaryotic oocytes, which are 3-6-fold less crowded than other cell types, attractive chemical interactions still dominate effects on protein stability and slow tumbling times, compared to the effects of dilute buffer.
