Protein Stability in TMAO and Mixed Urea–TMAO Solutions

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2020
Osmolytes are essential for cellular function under ubiquitous osmotic stress. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is one such osmolyte that has gained remarkable attention due to its protein-protective ability against urea. This Review aims at providing a detailed account of recent theoretical and experimental developments in characterizing the structural ...

TMAO to the rescue of pathogenic protein variants

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2022
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a chemical chaperone found in various organisms including humans. Various studies unveiled that it is an excellent protein-stabilizing agent, and induces folding of unstructured proteins. It is also well established that it can counteract the deleterious effects of urea, salt, and hydrostatic pressure on macromolecular ...

A bacterial TMAO transporter

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002
Trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) acts as an osmolyte in a wide variety of marine organisms, but little is known about the mechanisms by which it accumulates in certain tissues. To determine whether a TMAO-specific transporter occurs in Nature, we examined a bacterium Aminobacter aminovorans that is known to be able to subsist on methylamine as the sole ...

Influence of TMAO and Pressure on the Folding Equilibrium of TrpCage

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2022
Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is an osmolyte known for its ability to counteract the pressure denaturation of proteins. Computational studies addressing the molecular mechanisms of TMAO's osmolyte action have however focused exclusively on its protein-stabilizing properties at ambient pressure, neglecting the changes that may occur under high-pressure ...

TMAO: A small molecule of great expectations

Nutrition, 2015
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a small organic compound whose concentration in blood increases after ingesting dietary l-carnitine and phosphatidylcholine. Recent clinical studies show a positive correlation between elevated plasma levels of TMAO and an increased risk for major adverse cardiovascular events defined as death, myocardial infarction, or
