The present work provides a possible pathway by which the structural, kinetic, thermodynamic, and folding properties of horse cytochrome c (cyt c) are affected in green aqueous-AMIMCl systems. Analysis of the effect of AMIMCl on thermodynamic stability, refolding/unfolding kinetics, and motional dynamics of cyt c provided important information, (i) AMIMCl decreases the thermodynamic stability of reduced cyt c and also strengthens the guanidinium chloride (GdmCl)-mediated decrease in thermodynamic stability of protein, (ii) AMIMCl reduces the thermal-fluctuation of Met80-containing omega-loop of natively-folded compact state of carbonmonoxycytochrome c (MCO-state) due to polyfunctional interactions between the AMIM+ and different groups of protein, (iii) AMIMCl shifts the kinetic chevron plot, ln kobs[GdmCl] to the lower concentration of GdmCl, (iv) AMIMCl shifts the refolding and unfolding limps to vertically downwards and upwards, respectively, and (v) AMIMCl reducing the unfolding free energy estimated by both thermodynamic and kinetic analysis. date: 2022-11 date_type: published publication: BIOPHYSICAL CHEMISTRY volume: 290 publisher: Elsevier refereed: TRUE official_url: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S030146222200134X?via%3Dihub citation: Garg, Mansi and Sharma, Deepak and Kumar, Rajesh (2022) Analysis of the effect of 1-Allyl-3-Methylimidazolium chloride on thermodynamic stability, folding kinetics, and motional dynamics of horse cytochrome c.
