Derived from a global fit of nuclear magnetic resonance–derived dynamical data. Precision determined by Monte Carlo sampling. See Reference 7 for details. a1 = dCp1 ln(T / 385 K) (3) and a2 = dCp2 ln(T / 176 K) (71), where dCp1 and dCp2 are the hydration heat capacities per unit area of apolar and polar surface, respectively. Substituting these relations for a1 and a2 into Equation 6, the parameters dCp1, dCp2, ΔSr–t, and sd are obtained from a global fit using the experimental binding entropy changes, order parameter changes, and temperatures.
