Here, we describe liquid-observed vapor exchange (LOVE) NMR, a solution NMR-based method that provides residue-level information about the structure of dehydrated proteins. Using the model protein GB1, we show that LOVE NMR measurements reflect the fraction of the dried protein population trapped in a conformation where a given residue is protected from exchange with D2O vapor. Comparisons to solution hydrogen-deuterium exchange data affirm that the dried protein structure is strongly influenced by local solution stability and that the mechanism of dehydration protection exerted by the widely used protectant trehalose differs from its mechanism of stabilization in solution. Our results highlight the need for refined models of cosolute-mediated dehydration protection and demonstrate the ability of LOVE NMR to inform such models.Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is one of the most prevalent polymers in the world due to its combined thermal, mechanical, and gas barrier attributes. Blending PET with other polymers is an appealing strategy to further tailor properties to meet the needs of an even more diverse range of applications. Most blends with PET are macrophase-separated; only a few miscible systems have been reported. Here, the miscibility of the aromatic polyesters poly(salicylic glycolide) (PSG) and poly(salicylic methyl glycolide) (PSMG) with PET is described. Both PSG and PSMG have similar chemical structures to PET but are derived from sustainable resources and readily degradable. This study suggests that they are fully miscible with PET over the entire composition range, which is attributed to favorable interactions with PET. Negative polymer-polymer intera
