Thermodynamic Properties of Peptide Solutions. Part 18. Partial Molar Isentropic Compressibilities of Gly-X-Gly Tripeptides (X = Tyr,Pro, Gln,Asp and Glu), and the Peptide Salts K[GlyAspGly], Na[GlyGluGly] and GlyLysGly Acetate in Aqueous Solution at 25 <Superscript>∘</Superscript>C

The partial molar isentropic compressibilities at infinite dilution, K∘_S,2, have been determined for several tripeptides of the sequence glycyl-X-glycine, where X is one of the amino acids tyrosine, proline, glutamine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and lysine in aqueous solution at 25 ^∘C. These results, along with those for triglycine, were used to estimate the contributions of the amino acid side-chains to the partial molar isentropic compressibilities of polypeptides. Values for K∘_S,2 have also been determined for aqueous solutions of the two peptide salts K[glyaspgly] and Na[glyglugly]. The K∘_S,2 results for the peptides and their salts have been combined with literature data for electrolytes to calculate the changes in isentropic compressibility upon ionization of the acidic side-chains. The results are compared with those for other carboxylic acid systems.     

Molecular Interactions of Macrocycles with Dipeptides in Aqueous Solutions. Partial Molar Volumes and Heat Capacities of Transfer of a Chiral 18-Crown-6 and of a Calix[4]resorcinarene Derivative from Water to Aqueous Dipeptide Solutions at 25°C

Densities and specific heat capacities of ternary aqueous systems containing a dipeptide (alanyl-alanine, alanyl-glutamic acid, alanyl-serine or L-seryl-L-leucine) and a macrocycle (D--manno-naphtho-18-crown-6-ether or 2,8,14,20-tetrakis[-methyl (aminoformyl)]-4,6,10,12,16,18,22,24-octahydroxycalix[4]arene) were determined at 25°C by flow densimetry and flow calorimetry. The partial molar volume and heat capacity of transfer of a macrocycle from water to the dipeptide solution was determined as a function of the dipeptide concentration. Positive values for transfer volumes and transfer heat capacities are observed with all the solutions studied. With the crown ether, except for alanyl-glutamic acid where a 1:1 complex is clearly evidenced due to specific interactions of the side-chain functional group of the peptide with the crown ether, no stoichiometric complexes are confirmed and the partial molar quantities of transfer increase with the hydrophobic character of the dipeptide. Partial quantities of transfer are smaller with the calixarene than with the crown ether and stoichiometric complexes [calixarene]/[dipeptide] from 2:1 to 1:4 are evidenced, depending on the nature and the concentration of the dipeptide.     

Densities and Partial Molar Volumes of Some Amino Acids and Diglycine in Aqueous n-Propanol Solutions at 25°C

Apparent molar volumes, V , of glycine, DL--alanine, DL--amino-n-butyric acid, L-valine, L-leucine, and diglycine in water and in 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 m _B [molality of n-propanol in water (mol-kg^–1)] aqueous solutions of n-propanol have been obtained from densities of their solutions at 25 °C measured by using a precise vibrating-tube digital densimeter. The calculated partial molar volumes of amino acids and diglycine at infinite dilution, V _2,m ^o , have been used to obtain the corresponding transfer volumes, _tr V _2,m ^o , from water to different n-propanol–water mixtures. _tr V _2,m ^o values are positive for glycine, DL-- alanine, and diglycine (except at lower concentration 1.0 m _B ), negative for L-valine, and both positive and negative for the remaining amino acids over the concentration range studied. The side-chain contributions and hydration numbers have been calculated from V _2,m ^o data. Interaction coefficients have also been obtained from the McMillan–Mayer approach and the data have been interpreted in terms of various interactions.     

Limiting Partial Molar Excess Heat Capacities and Volumes of Selected Organic Compounds in Water at 25°C

Well-known Picker flow microcalorimeters for the differential measurements of volumetric heat capacities have been employed in conjunction with vibrating tube densimeters to determine the molar heat capacity, volume, and the apparent properties in dilute aqueous solutions for 17 organic solutes of moderate hydrophobicity. The dependence on concentration of the apparent properties allowed the limiting partial molar quantities at infinite dilution to be extrapolated and the limiting partial molar excess quantities to be evaluated. Comparison with available literature data shows good agreement. The application of group contribution rules to the limiting partial properties has been tested using the original method and parameters proposed by Cabani et al. The predicted values of the partial molar volumes are in fair agreement with the present data except for some less common solutes. With partial molar heat capacities, the agreement is less satisfactory. To improve the performance of the method, missing parameters for some types of monofunctional and bifunctional molecules have been evaluated.     

Partial Molar Volumes of Transfer of Some Amino Acids from Water to Aqueous Glycerol Solutions at 25°C

Apparent molar volumes of glycine, DL--alanine, L-valine, L-leucine, and L-phenylalanine in 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.5, and 5.0 m _B (mol-kg^–1) aqueous solutions of glycerol have been obtained from solution densities at 25°C using precise vibrating-tube digital densimeter. The estimated partial molar volumes at infinite dilution V ^o ₂ have been used to obtain the corresponding transfer volumes _tr V ₂ ^o from water to different glycerol–water mixtures. The transfer volumes are positive for glycine and DL--alanine, and both positive and negative for the other amino acids over the concentration range studied. Interaction coefficients have been obtained from McMillan–Mayer approach and the data have been interpreted in terms of solute–cosolute interactions.     

Partial Molar Volumes of Amino Acids and Peptides in Aqueous Salt Solutions at 25°C and a Correlation with Stability of Proteins in the Presence of Salts

Partial molar volumes for a homologous series of amino acids and peptides have been measured in aqueous 1M sodium acetate, sodium thiocyanate, and sodium sulfate at 25^°C. These data have been utilized in conjunction with the data in water to deduce partial molar volumes of transfer V _2,m ⁰(tr) from water to these aqueous salt solutions. The volumes of transfer for the amino acids and peptides are found to be positive. The interpretation is that this result arises from the dominant interaction of the sodium salts with the charged centers of amino acids and peptides. Thermal denaturation of the structurally homologous proteins lysozyme and -lactalbumin has been studied in the presence of these salts. Significant thermal stabilization of hen egg-white lysozyme has been observed in the presence of sodium acetate and sodium sulfate. However, the thermal stabilization observed for -lactalbumin is very small in the presence of these salts and sodium thiocyanate leads to a lowering of its thermal denaturation temperature. The rise in the surface tension of aqueous salt solutions with salt concentration has been correlated with the calorimetric and volumetric measurements. The results show that V _2,m ⁰(tr) depends less on the type of electrolyte than on the ionic strength of the solution. The V _2,m ⁰(tr) values correlate very well with the increase in the surface tension of aqueous salt solutions, indicating significant role of surface tension in interactions of amino acids, peptides, or protein with the salts.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Partial Molar Volumes of Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether + n-Alkanol Mixtures at 25°C

The excess molar volumes V^E for binary liquid mixtures containing dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether and methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-heptanol have been measured using a continuous dilution dilatometer over the whole mole fraction range at 25°C at atmospheric pressure. V^E are negative over the whole composition range except for the systems containing 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, or 1-heptanol which are positve at every composition. V^E increases in a positive direction with increase in chain length of the n-alcohol. The results have been used to estimate the excess partial molar volumes V_i^E of the components. The change of V^E and V_i^E with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule are discussed as a basis to understand some of the molecular interactions present in the mixtures:     

Thermodynamic Properties of Aqueous Solution of 2-Isopropoxyethanol at 25°C

Excess enthalpy, excess isobaric heat capacity, density, and speed of sound for aqueous 2-isopropoxyethanol solutions were measured at 25°C. The density was also measured at 20°C. The excess enthalpy was –800 J-mol^–1 at the minimum (mole fraction alcohol, x = 0.2), showing that the hydrogen bonds formed between unlike molecules are stronger than those in both pure liquid states. The excess volume also was large and negative, more than –1.2 cm³-mol^–1 at the minimum (x = 0.35). Excess isentropic and isothermal compressibilities are extremely negative. These results suggest that breaking the hydrogen bond network in water and forming the stronger hydrogen bonds between unlike molecules reduces the volume of the solution and makes the solution less compressible. The excess isobaric heat capacity is positive and large, up to 10 J-K^–1-mol^–1 and shows anomalous behavior in the neighborhood of x = 0.15.     

Standard Molar Volumes and Heat Capacities of Aqueous Solutions of Trifluoromethanesulfonic Acid at Temperatures up to 573 K and Pressures to 30 MPa

Densities and heat capacities of dilute aqueous solutions (0.025 to 0.4 mol⋅kg⁻¹) of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid) were measured with original high-temperature, high-pressure instruments at temperatures and pressures up to 574 K and 31 MPa, respectively. Standard molar volumes and standard molar heat capacities were obtained via extrapolation of the apparent molar properties to infinite dilution. The evolution of these standard derivative properties of triflic acid with temperature and pressure is qualitatively compared with that of other acids of different strengths.     

Apparent Molar Volumes of Multicharged Cations in Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solutions at 25°C

Densities for DMSO solutions of iron(III), aluminium(III), beryllium(II) and magnesium(II) perchlorates and silver nitrate are reported. Densities for DMSO solutions of tetraethylammonium perchlorate and nitrate and tetrabutylammonium perchlorate and tetraphenylborate are also presented. The partial molar volumes of the DMSO-solvated cations are derived and discussed in terms of variation with the charge number.     

The Partial Molar Heat Capacities and Expansions of Inosine, 2′-Deoxyinosine and 2′-Deoxyguanosine in Aqueous Solution at 298.15 K

Solution densities over the temperature range 288.15 to 313.15 K have been measured for aqueous solutions of the nucleosides inosine, 2′-deoxyinosine, and 2′-deoxyguanosine, from which the partial molar volumes of the solutes at infinite dilution, V ₂^o, were obtained. The partial molar expansions for the nucleosides at infinite dilution and 298.15 K, E ₂^o {E ₂^o=(∂ V ₂^o/∂ T) _p }, were derived from the V ₂^o results. The V ₂^o values at 298.15 K for the two sugars D-ribose and 2-deoxyribose also have been determined. The partial molar heat capacities at infinite dilution for all the solutes, C _p,2^o, have been determined at 298.15 K. These V ₂^o,E ₂^o, and C _p,2^o results are critically compared with all of the results available from the literature, and the use of group additivity to evaluate these solution thermodynamic properties for the sparingly soluble nucleoside guanosine is explored.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Excess Partial Molar Volumes of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether–n-Alcohol Mixtures at 25°C

We have measured excess molar volumes V^E _m of binary mixtures of triethylene glycol monoethyl ether with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-hexanol over the full range of compositions at 25°C. The measurements were carried out with a continuous-dilution dilatometer. The excess molar volumes V^E _m are negative over the entire range of composition for the systems triethylene glycol monoethyl ether + methanol, + ethanol, and + 1-propanol and positive for the remaining systems, triethylene glycol monoethyl ether + 1-pentanol, and + 1-hexanol. The excess V^E _m increases in the positive direction with increasing chain length of the n-alcohol. The measured excess volumes have been compared to our previous published data with an effort to assess the effects of replacing methyl by ethyl groups and of inserting oxyethylene groups. The results have been used to estimate the excess partial molar volumes V^E _m,i of the components. The behavior of V^E _m and V^E _m,i with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule is discussed.     

The Partial Molar Volumes and Heat Capacities of the Arginyl Side-chain of Proteins in Aqueous Solution over the Temperature Range 288.15 to 328.15 K

Solution densities over the temperature range 288.15 to 328.15 K have been measured for aqueous solutions of N-acetylarginamide monotrifluoroacetate and sodium trifluoroacetate, from which the partial molar volumes at infinite dilution, V₂^oV_{2}^{\mathrm{o}}, were determined. The partial molar heat capacities at infinite dilution, C_p,2^oC_{p,2}^{\mathrm{o}}, were also determined for these solutes over the same temperature range. These V₂^oV_{2}^{\mathrm{o}} and C_p,2^oC_{p,2}^{\mathrm{o}} results, along with relevant data taken from the literature, have been used to calculate the contributions of the protonated arginyl side-chain to the thermodynamic properties. These new side-chain values were critically compared with those obtained previously using alternative side-chain model compounds.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Excess Partial Molar Volumes of Triethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether–n-Alcohol Mixtures at 25°C

The excess molar volumes V ^E have been measured for binary mixtures of triethylene glycol monomethyl ether with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-hexanol as a function of composition using a continuous–dilution dilatometer at 25°C at atmosphere pressure. V ^E are negative over the entire range of composition for the systems triethylene glycol monomethyl ether + methanol, + ethanol, and + 1-propanol, and positive for the remaining systems, containing 1-pentanol and + 1-hexanol. V ^E increases in a positive direction with increasing carbon chain length of the n-alcohol. The excess partial molar volumes V _i ^E of the components were evaluated from the V ^E results. The behavior of V ^E and V _i ^E with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule is discussed.     

Amino Acid Derivatives as Protein Side-Chain Model Compounds: The Partial Molar Volumes and Heat Capacities of Some N-Acetyl-N′-methyl Amino Acid Amides in Aqueous Solution

The partial molar heat capacities, C ^o _p,2, and partial molar volumes, V ^o ₂, at infinite dilution have been determined for the compounds N-acetyl-N-methylglycinamide, N-acetyl-N-methylalaninamide, N-acetyl-N-methylvalinamide, and N-acetyl-N-methylleucinamide in aqueous solution at the temperatures 15, 25, 40, and 55°C. The C ^o _p,2 and V ^o ₂ results have been used to calculate amino acid side-chain contributions to the thermodynamic properties. These side-chain contributions are compared with those derived in previous work using thermodynamic data for the corresponding acetylated primary amides and with results reported using peptide model compounds.     

Enthalpies of Dilution of Cobalt–Amine-Type Salts in Aqueous Solutions at 25°C

The enthalpies of dilution for aqueous solutions of [Co(en)₃]Br₃, [Co(pn)₃]Cl₃, and [Co(tn)₃]Cl₃ (where en = 1,2-diaminoethane, pn = 1,2-diaminopropane, and tn = 1,3-diaminopropane) have been measured at 25°C, and up to m = 1 mol-kg^–1, using an isoperibol calorimeter by the long-jump method. Relative apparent molar enthalpies L have been extracted as an empirical equation relating L and m. Previously reported experimental data and theoretical predictions in the restricted primitive model (RPM) for 3:1 and 1:3 aqueous electrolytes are shown together with the new experimental material.     

Partial Molar Volumes of Glycine and dl-Alanine in Aqueous Ammonium Sulfate Solutions at 278.15, 288.15, 298.15 and 308.15 K

In this work, the partial molar volumes of glycine and dl-alanine in aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfate at 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.7, and 1.0 mol·kg^?1 are determined between 278.15 and 308.15 K. Transfer volumes were obtained, which are larger for glycine than dl-alanine. On the contrary, the hydration numbers are higher for dl-alanine than glycine, and dehydration of the amino acids is observed with increasing temperature or salt molality. The data suggest that interactions between ion and charged/hydrophilic groups are predominant and, by applying the methodology proposed by Friedman and Krishnan, it was concluded that they are mainly pairwise. A group-contribution scheme has been successfully applied to the pairwise volumetric interaction coefficient. Finally, the dehydration effect on glycine, alanine and serine in the presence of different electrolytes has been rationalized in terms of the charge density and a parameter accounting for the cation’s hydration.     

Partial Molar Volumes and Isentropic Compressions of Cyclic Ethers in Aqueous Solutions from 288.15 to 313.15 K at Atmospheric Pressure

The partial molar volumes and isentropic compressions of aqueous solutions of tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydropyran-2-methanol, 3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran, and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol were measured at 288.15, 298.15, and 313.15 K. Results are analyzed in terms of the effects of group addition to the molar volumes and isentropic compressions. The temperature dependence of the molar volumes and compressions, and their group contributions, are used to characterize changes in hydration.     

Densities, Specific Heat Capacities, Apparent and Partial Molar Volumes and Heat Capacities of Glycine in?Aqueous Solutions of Formamide, Acetamide, and?N,N-Dimethylacetamide at T=298.15?K and?Ambient Pressure

Apparent molar volumes (V _2,φ ) and heat capacities (C _p2,φ ) of glycine in known concentrations (1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0 mol⋅kg⁻¹) of aqueous formamide (FM), acetamide (AM), and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) solutions at T=298.15 K have been calculated from relative density and specific heat capacity measurements. These measurements were completed using a vibrating-tube flow densimeter and a Picker flow microcalorimeter, respectively. The concentration dependences of the apparent molar data have been used to calculate standard partial molar properties. The latter values have been combined with previously published standard partial molar volumes and heat capacities for glycine in water to calculate volumes and heat capacities associated with the transfer of glycine from water to the investigated aqueous amide solutions, D[`(V)]<sub>2,tr</sub><sup>o</sup>\Delta\overline{V}_{\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} and D[`(C)]_p2,tr^o\Delta\overline{C}_{p\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} respectively. Calculated values for D[`(V)]<sub>2,tr</sub><sup>o</sup>\Delta\overline{V}_{\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} and D[`(C)]_p2,tr^o\Delta\overline{C}_{p\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} are positive for all investigated concentrations of aqueous FM and AM solutions. However, values for D[`(C)]_p2,tr^o\Delta\overline{C}_{p\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} associated with aqueous DMA solutions are found to be negative. The reported transfer properties increase with increasing co-solute (amide) concentration. This observation is discussed in terms of solute + co-solute interactions. The transfer properties have also been used to estimate interaction coefficients.     

Excess Chemical Potentials and Partial Molar Enthalpies in Aqueous 1,2- and 1,3-Propanediols at 25°C

Excess chemical potentials and excess partial molar enthalpies of 1,2- and 1,3-propanediols (abbreviated as 12P and 13P), ^E _i, and H ^E _i (i = 12P or 13P) were determined in the respective binary aqueous solutions at 25^°C. For both systems, the values of ^E _i are almost zero, within ±0.4 kJ-mol^–1. However, the excess partial molar enthalpies, H ^E _i show a sharp mole fraction dependence in the water-rich region. Thus, the systems are highly nonideal, in spite of almost zero ^E _i. Namely, the enthalpy-entropy compensation is almost complete. From the slopes of the H ^E _i against the respective mole fraction x _i we obtain the enthalpic interaction functions between solutes, H _i–i ^E, (i = 12P or 13P). Using these quantities and comparing them with the equivalent quantities for binary aqueous solutions of 1-propanol (1P), 2-propanol (2P), glycerol (Gly), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), we conclude that there are three composition regions in each of which mixing schemes are qualitatively different. Mixing Schemes II and III, operative in the intermediate and the solute-rich regions, seem similar in all the binary aqueous solutions mentioned above. Mixing Scheme I in the water-rich region is different from solute to solute. 12P shows a behavior similar to that of DMSO, which is somewhat different from typical hydrophobic solute, 1P or 2P. 13P, on the other hand, is less hydrophobic than 12P, and shows a behavior closer to glycerol, which shows hydrophilic behavior.
