Hydration-Induced Structural Changes in the Solid State of Protein : A SAXS/WAXS Study on Lysozyme
The stability of biologically produced pharmaceuticals is the limiting factor to various applications, which can be improved by formulation in solid-state forms, mostly via lyophilization. Knowledge about the protein structure at the molecular level in the solid state and its transition upon rehydration is however scarce, and yet it most likely affects the physical and chemical stability of the bi
