Predictions of conformational enthalpy and heat capacity from the Zimm-Bragg theory
Article Abstract:
The study was done on the conformational enthalpy and heat capacity of a solution pf poly-gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate using the partition function of Zimm-Bragg for helix-coil transitions. The temperature dependence of the statistical parameter s from optical data is determined and treat the parameter rho- as a fitting parameter.

Statistical-mechanical approach to the thermodynamic functions in the unfolding of biomolecules
Article Abstract:
The statistical-mechanical formulation for calculating heat capacity and enthalpy functions in conformational changes of biomolecules is extended to include free-energy and entropy functions. The results are compared with published experimental values and are in reasonably good agreement with the measured results.
