Why Do Tetrapropylammonium Chloride and Sulphate Salts Destabilize the Native State of Globular Proteins? by Giuseppe Graziano

“…This happens because TPA+ ions are so large in size and interact so weakly with water molecules, due to their very low charge density, to be able to counteract the electrostrictive effect of chloride and sulphate ions on the water structure, so that the density of their aqueous solutions is smaller or only slightly larger than that of water.…”
