Proteins maintain hydration at high [KCl] concentration regardless of content in acidic amino acids

Proteins of halophilic organisms, which accumulate molar concentrations of KCl in their cytoplasm, have a much higher content in acidic amino acids than proteins of mesophilic organisms. It has been proposed that this excess is necessary to maintain proteins hydrated in an environment with low water...
