Figure 2.
Calorimetry data support inclusion of desolvation energy term in governing equation for binding equilibria. Each Ki value in Table 1 was utilized to calculate −RTlnK and plotted against the corresponding concentration of calcium, also given in Table 1. The linear relationship at each temperature is consistent with Eq. 11, for which the y-intercept is ΔG° and the slope is ΔGH2O.
