[RASMB] another vbar question

[Walter Stafford]

I think you meant the second "it's" and not the first "it's".

The example in the Wikipedia page I mentioned, regarding the pmv of water in water and in ethanol, I find it very illuminating...

Regarding anecdotes on vbar, I can add that when we worked with acylated peptides the vbar measured by densitometry turned out to be much smaller than vbar calculated from the aa sequence + modification. We had congruent AUC and SEC-MALLS data showing that certain acylations led to oligomerisation, presumably due to an hydrophobic interaction that became stronger with higher salt concentration. At that time we argued the effect on vbar could be due to a solvent envelope for packed acyl-moieties that is smaller than that of the separated acyl-moieties. Makes sense? I am curious to read Mattia's comment on this, too.

We measure the droh/dc (DMA5000) at different concentrations and calculate the vbar. Controls OK, concentration accurate and measurements reproducible, buffer dialysed. Salt-concentration is varied (NaCl, 5-1500 mM-ish). Turns out the vbar is considerably different at high salt. (And so is the self-association, btw.) No detergents or denaturants, just some additional phosphate for buffering, besides the NaCl.
