Abstract
The phase transitions occurring in aqueous solutions of macromolecules and their complex structures (like order-disorder transitions in proteins or nucleic acids solutions) are usually accompanied by small changes in their specific partial volumes. If the quantity of these substances in the closed calorimetric vessels is relatively large (few mg) and if the phase transition is accompanied by a high change of specific partial volume (like in solution of bacteriophages),it is possible to detect some imaginary heat effects in the DSC calorimeters which have closed (sealed) vessels with free volume above the liquid.
