One of the main differences in the intercellular environment compared to the laboratory condition is the presence of macromolecular crowders of various compositions, sizes, and shapes. In this article, we have contemplated a systematic shape dependency of macromolecular crowders on the thermodynamics and microsecond conformational fluctuation dynamics of protein unfolding by taking human serum albumin (HSA) as the model protein and similar-sized crowders, namely, dextran-40, ficoll-70, and PEG-35 as macromolecular crowders of different shapes, to mimic the cell environment. We observed that dextran-40 and ficoll-70 counteract the thermal denaturation and PEG-35 assists it. A complete thermodynamic analysis suggests that the stabilization by dextran-40 and ficoll-70 occurs mainly through stabilizing entropic effect, which is somewhat counteracted by the destabilizing enthalpic effect, in line with what is expected from the traditional interpretation of excluded volume and soft interaction. Surprisingly, the destabilizing effect of PEG-35 is not through unfavorable interaction but through a destabilizing entropic effect, which is opposite to the excluded volume prediction. Our speculation is that the modulation of the associated water structure due to crowder-induced distortion plays a crucial role in modulating the entropic component. Moreover, while a two-state model can approximate the overall thermal denaturation of HSA in the absence and presence of various crowders, the thermal denaturation profile of domain III of HSA involves a distinct intermediate state. The active-site dynamics of HSA are altered significantly in the presence of all the three differently shaped crowders used in the study. Rod-shaped dextran-40 and spherical ficoll-70 hinder the microsecond conformational dynamics of domain III of HSA in all states except the intermediate state. Mesh-like PEG-35 in addition to hindering the microsecond conformational dynamics shifts the intermediate state from 40 to 30 degrees C. Overall, our results provide new insight into deciphering the mechanism of crowder-induced changes in protein. Through our interpretation, we not only explain the unfavorable entropic contribution but also provide a physical basis to explain the entropy-enthalpy compensation.
