The solubility and stability of biomolecules may be influenced by the addition of cosolvents. Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as novel co-solvents for wide spread applications in biotechnology and industrial processes. In the present study we report the solubilities and apparent transfer free energies ) ( ' tr G ∆ for zwitterions containing glycine peptides (GPs) such as glycine (Gly), diglycine (Gly 2 ), triglycine (Gly 3 ), tetraglycine (Gly 4 ) and cyclicglycylglycine (c(GG)) from water to aqueous solutions of imidazolium-based ILs at 25 0 C and atmospheric pressure. ILs used here are having different anions such as chloride )sulfate ) ( 4 − HSO , acetate ) ( 3 − COO CH and thiocyanate ) ( − SCN and a common 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation [Bmim] + . The ' tr G ∆ values of GPs from water to aqueous IL solutions have been obtained from the solubilities, which are determined from density (ρ) measurements as a function of ILs concentration at 25 0 C. Further, we have calculated salting constant, (k) from Setschenow equation and the values have analyzed with salting-out/salting-in effects. The experimental ' tr G ∆ data allowed the calculation of the transfer free energy contributions ) ( ' tr g ∆ of the peptide backbone unit ) ( 2 − = − ONH C CH from water to aqueous ILs. The effects of anions of ILs on GPs have been analyzed through solubilities, stabilities and ' tr G ∆ values to obtain a usual understanding of the Hofmeister series. The results are discussed in terms of solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions in the aqueous IL solution.
