✦ Synopsis
An equation is derived relating total and preferential interactions of solvent components with macromolecules in a three-component system. Application of this equation to literature data shows that binding of non-polar solvents to proteins parallels the unfolding of the latter. This observation is discussed in terms of local inter-residue and residue-solvent interactions.
