The thermodynamics of the interaction between a copolymer of polyethyleneglycol400-stearic acid, S400, and lysozyme was investigated at pH=7.0 and 27 A degrees C in phosphate buffer by isothermal titration calorimetry, ITC. The extended solvation model was used to reproduce the enthalpies of the S400 + lysozyme interactions. The solvation parameters recovered from the extended solvation model are attributed to the structural change of lysozyme and its biological activity. The binding parameters found for the interaction of S400 with lysozyme indicate that at low concentrations of S400, the lysozyme structure was destabilized but at higher concentrations of S400 lysozyme it was stabilized by S400. It is suggested that S400 interacts with a set of three identical binding sites on lysozyme.
