Molecular theory of partial molar volume and its applications to biomolecular systems
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Determination of partial molar volumes from free energy perturbation theory.
Partial molar volume is an important thermodynamic property that gives insights into molecular size and intermolecular interactions in solution. Theoretical frameworks for determining the partial molar volume (V°) of a solvated molecule generally apply Scaled Particle Theory or Kirkwood-Buff theory. With the current abilities to perform long molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations, more ...
