“Water Association” Band in Saccharide Amorphous Matrices: Role of Residual Water on Bioprotection

Saccharides protect biostructures against adverse environmental conditions mainly by preventing large scale motions leading to unfolding. The efficiency of this molecular mechanism, which is higher in trehalose with respect to other sugars, strongly depends on hydration and sugar/protein ratio. Here...
