Differential dilatometric and differential scanning calorimetric measurements have been made of purple membrane with an emphasis upon the temperature range 5° C< T< 45° C. The coefficient of thermal expansion α is about 7· 10− 4/Cdeg up to 30° C and decreases at higher temperatures. The specific heat increases rapidly with temperature with absolute values in the range 0.30–0.45 cal/Cdeg per g. A nearly constant α juxtaposed with a rapidly increasing specific heat is similar to the properties of lipid bilayers in the gel phase and alkanes in the solid phase. This behavior is explained by the concept of hindered vibrations which would now appear to apply to at least one integral membrane protein. There may also be a small broad transition centered near 20–25° C that would correspond to the melting of less than 25 degrees of freedom per bacteriorhodopsin molecule and associated lipids. Using our measured apparent specific volume the average thickness of purple membrane is calculated to be 43.5 Å. The specific volume of interaction of lipids and proteins is estimated, using the amino acid sequence of bacteriorhodopsin and average amino acid volumes from structural studies of other proteins, to be about 11% of the specific volume of the purple membrane lipids or 4% of the volume of the bacteriorhodopsin protein. A positive volume of interaction is consistent with lipid-protein interactions being an important determinant of the thermodynamic properties of purple membrane.
