Abstract

The evaluation of water vapor sorption isotherms for a diverse group of proteins, over a wide range of hydration levels using nonlinear regression analysis, strongly suggests that the relative vapor pressure is thermodynamically linked to protein aggregation/protein activity. The observed decrease in the relative vapor pressure of water as the protein concentration increases is liken into account by a model with water associated with, or trapped by, protein molecules as they form aggregates
