SynopsisSpecific volumes at 25' of aqueous solutions of poly (N-methyl acrylamide) and poly-(ethylene oxide) have been measured, and the data obtained is compared with corresponding data on low-molecular-weight compounds. The results support the notion, that the volrrme changes following the interaction between aliphatic groups and water are positive. They are discussed with particular reference to pressure effects on protein conformations.
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.
