Effect of osmolytes on the chaperone activity of α-casein: Chaperone activity of α-casein was monitored by measuring light scattering intensity of catalase at 360 nm in presence of glycerol, sorbitol, glucose, sucrose, proline, glycine, β-alanine and taurine. Symbols denote (— —) catalase control, (—•—) catalase in presence of untreated-α-casein and (—••—) catalase in presence of osmolyte treated-α-casein. For clarity we have shown aggregation profiles of catalase in presence of only the highest concentration (500 mM) of the osmolyte used. Results shown are representative of atleast three independent measurements for all the osmolytes.
