25. 13 However, the extent of lysozyme denaturation in acetonitrile-water mixtures is pH-dependent and less pronounced for lysozyme obtained at neutral pH values. We chose pH 1.9 in this work to demonstrate the effect of protein denaturation at different acetonitrile concentrations in water most clearly.

54. The solubility of subtilisin in organic solvents is below that of lysozyme. While lysozyme in 60% acetonitrile is still in solution at 50 mg/ mL, subtilisin is not completely soluble under these conditions.
