Table 2.

Observed and calculated dependences of HPC precipitation temperatures on osmolyte concentration.

Osmolyte [dTtdOsmolal]obs [dTtdOsmolal]calc
Urea +0.3 0
Glycerol −2.4 −6.4
Sorbitol −9.55 −13.6
TMAO −8.35 −9.0
Proline −11.2 −13.7
Glycine Betaine −9.7 −13.4
KF −13.9 −15.3

Observed slopes are determined from the data shown in figure 5 and have an error of 5%. The calculated slopes are determined from equation (6) with ΔS = 12 cal/°K/ mole glucose monomer as determined previously at 13.9 Å and with ΔNw determined at 20 °C integrating exclusion curves from 13.9 Å to ∞. Calculated slopes have an error of ~ 30%.
