Difference plots of melts of WT tRNAPhe in additives minus in buffer alone with increasing Mg2+ concentration. All melts were performed in the background of 10 mM sodium cacodylate (pH 7.0) and 140 mM KCl. All data were adjusted to have the same Tm, designated as “TBuffer.” (A–C) The effects of various crowding agents (20% [w/v]) in 0, 0.5, and 2 mM Mg2+, respectively. PEG4000 (blue), PEG8000 (red), Dextran10 (green), Dextran70 (purple), and Ficoll70 (cyan). (D–F) The effects of low-molecular-weight cosolutes (2 m, except PEG200, which was 20% [w/v]) also in 0, 0.5, and 2 mM Mg2+, respectively. Methanol (pink), PEG200 (cobalt blue), proline (orange), TMAO (light purple), and betaine (dark green). Difference plots show the effects of the additives on WT folding cooperativity.
