Recent advances in the use of ionic liquids as solvents for protein-based materials and chemistry

Abstract

Proteins are a diverse class of molecules that can act as catalysts and structural components. Interest in their interactions with ionic solvents is on the increase due to the tuneable possibilities for non-aqueous biocatalysis, improved thermostability of biomaterials, and possible roles in medicine, such as drug delivery and use as cell-growth scaffolds. We summarise here the recent examples of these exciting new aspects of protein-ionic solvent interactions, highlighting future directions.
