A Direct Measure of the Contribution of Solvent Reorganization to the Enthalpy of Binding
Journal Article (Journal Article)
The thermodynamics of association of several binding systems, including protein—carbohydrate, small molecule—small molecule, protein—peptide, and protein—nucleic acid, were evaluated calorimetrically in light and heavy water. In every case, the enthalpy of binding in D O was decreased relative to that in H2O: the differences range from 400 to 1800 cal mol . A compensating change in AS left the free energy of binding virtually unchanged in each case. A strong correlation between the differential enthalpy of binding and AC for binding was observed, with a slope of 5 K. An analysis of the observed effect utilizing a Born-Haber thermodynamic cycle shows that the measured decrease in enthalpy represents approximately 10% of the binding enthalpy arising from solvent reorganization. For the range of systems investigated, solvent reorganization provides 25—100% of the observed enthalpy of binding.
