Glycerol is a cosolvent that stabilizes proteins in solution: seven proteins studied in glycerol-water mixtures were preferentially hydrated, which minimizes glycerol contact and favours the native structure.

Summary
Glycerol is a cosolvent that stabilizes proteins in solution: seven proteins studied in glycerol-water mixtures were preferentially hydrated, which minimizes glycerol contact and favours the native structure. · pmid:7295639
Mechanism
It shifts proteins toward more compact states and inhibits aggregation during refolding, largely through electrostatic interactions that orient glycerol at the protein surface. · pmid:19817484
Proportion of the 2 claims about Glycerol standing at each tier. Community volume is shown on the Consensus tab beside this and is never averaged into it.
Living evidence history
2 resolved citations, oldest to newest, coloured by tier. Retractions and contradictions land here as they are recorded.
Structure
No structure representation on record. PepJunkie draws only what an authoritative record supplies; for a peptide that is the residue sequence, and none has been curated for Glycerol yet.
Dose evidence, rung by rung
No established safe human dose. Nothing on file establishes one. That is a statement about the evidence PepJunkie holds, not a promise about the molecule.
