DSC confirmation that vitrification is not necessary for stabilization of the restriction enzyme EcoRI dried with saccharides

The glass transition temperature (T(g)) of preparations of the restriction enzyme EcoRI, vacuum-dried in the presence of sucrose, trehalose, or raffinose, was determined using differential scanning calorimetry. T(g) values were well below those expected for low-moisture sucrose, trehalose, or raffin...
