The thermodynamic and extra-thermodynamic dependencies of five types of cytochrome c in water–acetonitrile mixtures of different composition in the presence of immobilised n-octyl ligands as a function of temperature from 278K to 338K have been investigated. The corresponding enthalpic, entropic and heat capacity parameters, ΔHassoc°, ΔSassoc° and ΔCp°, have been evaluated from the observed non-linear Van’t Hoff plots of these globular proteins in these heterogeneous systems. The relationships between the free energy dependencies, various molecular parameters and extra-thermodynamic dependencies (empirical correlations) of these protein–non-polar ligand interactions have also been examined. Thus, the involvement of enthalpy-entropy compensation effects has been documented for the binding of these cytochrome cs to solvated n-octyl ligands. Moreover, the results confirm that this experimental approach permits changes in molecular surface area due to the unfolding of these proteins on association with non-polar ligands as a function of temperature to be correlated with other biophysical properties. This study thus provides a general procedure whereby the corresponding free energy dependencies of globular proteins on association with solvated non-polar ligands in heterogeneous two-phase systems can be quantitatively evaluated in terms of fundamental molecular parameters.
