Molecular theory of partial molar volume and its applications to biomolecular systems
The partial molar volume (PMV) is a thermodynamic quantity which contains important information about the solute-solvent interactions as well as the solute structure in solution. Additionally, the PMV is the most essential quantity in the analysis of the pressure effect on chemical reactions. This...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | The partial molar volume (PMV) is a thermodynamic quantity which contains important information about
the solute-solvent interactions as well as the solute structure in solution. Additionally, the PMV is the most
essential quantity in the analysis of the pressure effect on chemical reactions. This article reviews the recent
developments in molecular theories of the PMV, especially the reference interaction site model (RISM) theory
of molecular liquids and its three-dimensional generalization version (3D-RISM), which are combined with the
Kirkwood-Buff solution theory to calculate the PMV. This article also introduces our recent applications of the
theory to some interesting issues concerning the PMV of biomolecules. In addition, theoretical representations
of the effects of intramolecular fluctuation on the PMV, which are significant for biomacromolecules, are briefly
discussed. |
