Investigation of Some of the Thermodynamical Quantities of Proteins by   Statistical Mechanical Methods
  In this study, variations with respect to temperature of the increments of enthalpy and Gibbs energy, arising in the dissolution of proteins in water, have been investigated by the methods of statistical thermodynamics. In this formalism, effective electric field E and total dipole moment M are taken as thermodynamical variable. In obtaining the free energy the partition function given by A. Bakk, J.S. Hoye and A. Hansen; Physica A, 304, (2002), 355-361 has been used in a modified form. In the constructed semi-phenomenological theory, the experimental data are taken from the study of Privalov [1,2] and the relevant parameters have been found by fitting to the experimental curves. The variations of the increments of enthalpy and Gibbs energy have been investigated in the temperature range 265-350 K.
