Capacity Data

Densities and heat capacities have been measured for aqueous solutions of L-asparagine, L-glutamine, glycylglycine, glycyl-L-valine, glycyl-L-asparagine, and glycyl-DL-leucine at 288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15 K. These data have been used to calculate apparent molar volumes, V2,ø, and apparent molar heat capacities, Cp,2,ø, which in turn have been used to obtain standard state volumes, [Formula: see text] and heat capacities, [Formula: see text] The semi-empirical modelling procedures of Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers have been used to subdivide the calculated standard state volume and heat capacity data into solvation and nonsolvation contributions. The nonsolvation components of the standard state properties are used in group additivity analyses. These analyses yield structural contributions to standard state volumes and heat capacities for the CH(NH2)CO2H, CH2, OH, COOH, CH, CONH2, and CONH groups. The temperature dependences of these contributions are discussed. Some comments are reported concerning the practicality of using the thermodynamic properties of aqueous amino acid and peptide systems as the basis for modelling standard state thermodynamic properties of aqueous protein systems. Keywords: heat capacities, densities, volumes, amino acids, peptides, group additivity.

Molar Volumes

The thermodynamics of amino acid systems are key to the understanding of protein chemistry. We have found that many previous studies of the apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of aqueous solutions of amino acids were conducted at the standard temperature of 298.15 K. This does not allow for the fact that most biological processes occur at temperatures removed from this standard condition.In an attempt to address this imbalance we have measured densities and heat capacities for aqueous solutions of glycine, L-alanine, L-serine, and L-threonine at 288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15 K using a Picker flow microcalorimeter. Apparent molar volumes and heat capacities, and the associated standard state partial molar properties have been calculated. Constant pressure variations of revised Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers equations have been fitted to calculated standard state volumes and heat capacities over the temperature range 288.15 to 328.15 K. These equations may be used to estimate standard state volumes and heat capacities, and hence equilibrium constants, for aqueous amino acid systems at higher temperatures.

Fitting Procedures

Densities and volumetric heat capacities have been measured for aqueous solutions of L-valine, L-leucine, and L-isoleucine at 288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15 K. These data have been used to calculate apparent molar volumes, [Formula: see text] and apparent molar heat capacities, [Formula: see text] which in turn have been used to obtain standard state volumes, [Formula: see text] and standard state heat capacities, [Formula: see text] for each aqueous amino acid system. Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers equations, for neutral organics in water, have been used to model the calculated standard state volumes and heat capacities of the amino acids as a function of temperature at constant pressure. The results of our fitting procedures may be used to predict the behaviour of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for the selected amino acid systems outside of the temperature range utilised in this investigation.

Measurements at 25 °C with flow calorimeters and densimeters have led to heat capacities and densities of aqueous solutions of 15 unsaturated heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen. From the results of these measurements we have obtained apparent molar heat capacities and volumes of the solutes. Extrapolations to infinite dilution have led to corresponding standard state apparent and partial molar heat capacities and volumes, which have been analyzed in terms of atomic and group additivity relationships.
