The amino acid side chains of Ser, Thr and Tyr contain the hydroxyl functional group that is characteristic of alcohols, and a variety of different alcohols are used either as structure-inducing or denaturing co-solvents in physical-chemical studies of proteins. This article surveys selected aspects of the influence of protein-intrinsic and -extrinsic hydroxyl groups on studies of the solvation of peptides and proteins by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
