The rating game : The effect of cations and anions of ionic liquids (ILs) on the stability of ribonuclease A in aqueous solutions was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC thermogram shown). The salt‐induced shifts of the transition temperature are used to rank the cations and anions of ILs in the Hofmeister series.
