The thermodynamics and energetics of the ion exchange of four amino acids at a cellulosic ion exchanger have been studied. Experimental work included determination of ion exchange isotherms and the use of high-sensitivity titration microcalorimetry. A rigorous thermodynamic analysis of the data was developed allowing calculation of the standard free energy, the standard enthalpy, and standard entropy of exchange, and also the differential free energy, incremental enthalpy, and incremental entropy of exchange. The results show that the relative contributions of the enthalpy and entropy to the overall free energy differ markedly for the chosen amino acids. The reasons for these differences are analyzed and discussed. A knowledge of these fundamental thermodynamic properties indicates the solution conditions likely to give enhanced affinity of the ion exchanger for selected amino acids. The experimental techniques and analysis procedures developed are generally applicable to ion exchange separations of biomolecules. (c) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
The thermodynamics and energetics of the ion exchange of four amino acids at a synthetic ion exchange resin have been studied. Experimental work included determination of ion exchange isotherms and the use of high-sensitivity titration microcalorimetry. A rigorous thermodynamic analysis of the data is developed allowing calculation of the standard free energy, the standard enthalpy, and standard entropy of exchange, and also the differential free energy, incremental enthalpy, and incremental entropy of exchange. The results show that the relative contributions of the enthalpy and entropy to the overall free energy differ markedly for the chosen amino acids. From a knowledge of these fundamental thermodynamic properties, the solution conditions giving enhanced separation are predicted. These predictions are experimentally confirmed. The paper establishes experimental protocols and data analysis methods that allow progression from a single isotherm and a single set of calorimetric data to a selection of process conditions for enhanced selectivity. The experimental techniques and analysis procedures developed are generally applicable to ion exchange separations of biomolecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
