Abstract
1996 In the absence of surfactants, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) rapidly forms insoluble aggregates during agitation. The nonionic surfactant Tween 20, when present at Tween:protein molar ratios > 4, effectively inhibits this aggregation. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of rhGH solutions showed melting transitions that decreased by ca. 2 °C in the presence of Tween. Circular dichroism (CD) studies of the same thermal...
