Abstract
Selfβassociation of phosphorylase kinase (PhK) and its interaction with glycogen (M=5500βkDa) and phosphorylase b (Ph__b__) has been studied using analytical ultracentrifugation and turbidimetry under the conditions of molecular crowding arising from the presence of high concentrations of osmolytes. In accordance with the predictions of the molecular crowding theory, trimethylamine Nβoxide (TMAO) and betaine greatly favor selfβassociation of PhK induced by Mg^2+^ and Ca^2+^ and PhK interaction with glycogen. In contrast, proline suppresses these processes, probably, due to its specific interaction with PhK. All osmolytes tested prevented the complex formation between PhK and its physiological substrate, Ph__b__. The specific interactions of PhK and Ph__b__ with glycogen, in the living cell, presumably is a factor allowing the negative effect of crowding on the recognition of Ph__b__ by PhK to be overcome.

## Abstract The suppression of the thermal aggregation of glycogen phosphorylase __b__ (Ph__b__) from rabbit skeletal muscle by the chaperonin GroEL is studied using dynamic light scattering. It is shown that the decrease in the rate of Ph__b__ aggregation under the action of GroEL is due to the tr
Chlorpromazine is an antipsychotic agent with poor aqueous solubility. Complexation with SBE 7 -b-CD can aid intravenous delivery through increasing the apparent solubility of chlorpromazine. However, chlorpromazine has also been known to self-associate. This selfassociation can influence its capaci
