Protein aggregation is a major obstacle in both biological applications and biomedical fields involving proteins. In this study, we investigated the essential structure of small additives that function as chemical chaperones. Aggregation-suppressing competent additives were 1,3-diaminopropane, 1,4-diaminobutane, and 1,5-diaminopentane, which suppressed aggregation in the given order; whereas no diols or monoamines prevented the thermal aggregation and the inactivation of lysozyme. The heat-in activation rate of lysozyme with 1,3-diaminopropane was almost identical to that of lysozyme with spermine and arginine ethylester, which are the most prominent additives reported yet.
