The effects of added salt on the second virial coefficients of the complete proteome of E. coli
نویسنده
چکیده
Bacteria typically have a few thousand different proteins. The number of proteins with a given charge is a roughly Gaussian function of charge — centred near zero, and with a width around ten (in units of the charge on the proton). We have used the charges on E. coli’s proteins to estimate the changes in the second virial coefficients of all its proteins as the concentration of a 1:1 salt is increased. The second virial coefficient has dimensions of volume and we find that on average it decreases by about twice the average volume of a protein when the salt concentration is increased from 0.2 to 1 Molar. The standard deviation of the decrease is of the same order. Such information on a large set of proteins is important for structural genomics, the large scale determination of protein structures.

An Improved Correlation for Second Virial Coefficients of Pure Fluids
In the present work, a modified correlation is presented for the second virial coefficients of both polar and nonpolar fluids based on the corresponding states principle. The second virial coefficients of gaseous polar and non-polar compounds were calculated and compared with experimental data and with other correlations. Comparisons with the existing correlations show that the present work is ...

The second virial coefficients are given as a spherical-core contribution plus a series of nonspherical perturbation terms. A revised analysis is given of the effect of long-range nonspherical terms in the intermolecular potential on the second virial coefficient given by a preferred HFDIDl spherical core treatment of the integration for small intermolecular distances. This effect is consid...

The virial coefficients can be obtained from statistical mechanics in connection with the intermolecular potentials. The intermolecular potential of polyatomic molecules is usually assumed to consist of a spherically symmetric component plus a contribution due to asphericaity of the molecular charge distribution. In this study, the second virial coefficients have been calculated for N2...
