Eiberweiser, Andreas ; Nazet, Andreas ; Kruchinin, S. E. ; Fedotova, M. V. ; Buchner, Richard



Abstract

Ectoine is a widespread osmolyte enabling halophilic bacteria to withstand high osmotic stress that has many potential applications ranging from cosmetics to its use as a therapeutic agent. In this contribution, combining experiment and theory, the hydration and ion-binding of this zwitterionic compound was studied to gain information on the functioning of ectoine in particular and of osmolytes ...
