The results of measurements of the (conductivity) critical micelle concentrations (cmc) of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and n-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) at several temperatures in a wide variety of aqueous mediacontaining protein denaturants or closely related compounds and in D20 are presented. The observed temperature dependence of the cmc in a given medium has been shown to provide the standard enthalpy and entropy changes accompanying addition of a detergent molecule to a micelle of the most probable size in that medium: the relative contributions of these over-all enthalpic and entropic terms to the micelle stability are discussed. It is also shown that present experimental techniques are inadequate to allow assessment of the electrical and hydro-phobic contributions to these thermodynamic parameters. Qualitatively, correlations are observed between thehydrophobic nature of the additive and its micelle-breaking power, but only by confining the comparisons within a group of similar compounds and by allowing for the possibilitythat some compounds may penetrate the micelle. Simple experimental criteria are developed for distinguishing such penetrating additives from non-penetrating ones. Application of even these limited, qualitative correlations to the case of hydrophobic bonds in proteins, it is made clear, will have to be done with considerable caution.
