Densities (24 °C) and volumetric specific beats (25 °C) were measured for amino acids (0.05–0.5 m) containing apolar side chains in water, and in aqueous solutions of glycerol, mannitol, sorbitol, NaCl, urea, and Gu•HCl, with a flow densimeter and flow microcalorimeter respectively.The derived apparent molal quantifies and transfer functions of the amino acids in aqueous polyol solutions reveal no specificities which might explain the origin of the unique behavior of polyols in protein systems. However, the study did reveal a regular increase in the structure-making ability of the amino acid as the hydrophobicity of the side chains increased. This structure-making tendency was reduced significantly in dilute solutions of the higher polyols.
