Osmolyte | ΔG, cal/mol/osm | ΔH, cal/mol/osm | −TΔS, cal/mol/osm |
---|---|---|---|
Glycerol | 100 | 2300 | −2200 |
Sorbitol | 200 | 2650 | −2450 |
TMAO | 150 | 600 | −350 |
Proline | 200 | 1700 | −1500 |
Glycine Betaine | 220 | 1400 | −1180 |
The thermodynamic parameters are calculated for 20 °C per mole glucose monomer. The error in ΔG is ~15%. The errors for ΔH and −TΔS values are ~30%
