Exploring the protein-folding problem has been a longstanding challenge in molecular biology and biophysics. Intramolecular hydrogen (H)-bonds play an extremely important role in stabilizing protein structures. To form these intramolecular H-bonds, nascent unfolded polypeptide chains need to escape from hydrogen bonding with surrounding polar water molecules under the solution conditions that require entropy-enthalpy compensations, according to the Gibbs free energy equation and the change in enthalpy. Here, by analyzing the spatial layout of the side-chains of amino acid residues in experimentally determined protein structures, we reveal a protein-folding mechanism based on the entropy-enthalpy compensations that initially driven by laterally hydrophobic collapse among the side-chains of adjacent residues in the sequences of unfolded protein chains. This hydrophobic collapse promotes the formation of the H-bonds within the polypeptide backbone structures through the entropy-enthalpy compensation mechanism, enabling secondary structures and tertiary structures to fold reproducibly following explicit physical folding codes and forces. The temperature dependence of protein folding is thus attributed to the environment dependence of the conformational Gibbs free energy equation. The folding codes and forces in the amino acid sequence that dictate the formation of β-strands and α-helices can be deciphered with great accuracy through evaluation of the hydrophobic interactions among neighboring side-chains of an unfolded polypeptide from a β-strand-like thermodynamic metastable state. The folding of protein quaternary structures is found to be guided by the entropy-enthalpy compensations in between the docking sites of protein subunits according to the Gibbs free energy equation that is verified by bioinformatics analyses of a dozen structures of dimers. Protein folding is therefore guided by multistage entropy-enthalpy compensations of the system of polypeptide chains and water molecules under the solution conditions.

Abstract Thermodynamic properties of mixtures in vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) were studied. Thermodynamic properties of the methane-ethane mixtures in VLE were calculated with highly accurate Helmholtz free energy equation of state GERG-2008, simplified GERG-2008 and common cubic PR equation of state (EOS). Results show that GERG-2008 has high accuracy in VLE calculations. However, simplified GERG-2008 and PR-EOS both work unsatisfactorily in VLE calculations.

In this paper Thermodynamic calculation is shown. We have found simulation for phase diagram, Gibbs free energy and Activity curve at different temperatures (1200 K, 1225 K and 1250 K). Phase diagrams, Gibbs free-energy and the component activities of (Fe-Co) alloys system were calculated by Calphad method. Results show that the values of Gibbs energy were negative, which shows the stability of (Fe-Co). Negative deviation had occurred from Raoult’s Law in activities, which indicates that there is strong interaction between Fe and Co in (Fe-Co) alloy. By increasing the temperature the activity increases and deviation in activity decreases. For all the thermodynamic calculations the Thermo-Calc software, databases and Calphad method have used.
