Partial molar volume, surface area, and hydration changes for equilibrium unfolding and formation of aggregation transition state: High-pressure and cosolute studies

The equilibrium dissociation of recombinant human IFN-gamma was monitored as a function of pressure and sucrose concentration. The partial molar volume change for dissociation was -209 +/- 13 ml/mol of dimer. The specific molar surface area change for dissociation was 12.7 +/- 1.6 nm2/molecule of di...
