The Hofmeister series is a classification of ions based on their effects on the solubility and stability of proteins and other biomolecules in solution. It is named after the German chemist Franz Hofmeister, who conducted studies in the late 19th century that revealed how different ions affect protein behavior. The series is primarily concerned with the ability of ions to stabilize or destabilize protein structures and other colloidal systems in aqueous solutions.
