Summary

SINCE TRIMETHYLAMINE OXIDE IS KNOWN TO STABILIZE PROTEINS AGAINST CONFORMATIONAL CHANGE, ITS ENZYMATIC REMOVAL DURING FROZEN STORAGE COULD CAUSE PROTEIN DESTABILIZATION AND AGGREGATION. HOWEVER, ITS ADDITION TO MUSCLE TISSUE DID NOT INFLUENCE THE RATE OR EXTENT OF < FREEZE DENATURATION > AS ASSESSED BY PROTEIN SOLUBILITY MEASUREMENTS.
