Thermodynamic properties of peptide solutions: 14. Partial molar expansibilities and isothermal compressibilities of some glycyl dipeptides in aqueous solution

Abstract

The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been obtained for a series of glycyl dipeptides in aqueous solution at 15, 30, and 35°C. These results have been combined with data obtained at 25°C, that were reported earlier, to evaluate the partial molar expansibilities at infinite dilution for the dipeptides at 25°C. These quantities, along with the partial molar heat capacities and isentropic compressibilities at infinite dilution that were reported in previous studies, were used to derive the partial molar isothermal compressibilities at infinite dilution for the glycyl dipeptides at 25°C. The results obtained are rationalized in terms of the hydration of the constituent groups of the dipeptides.
