Planck-Benzinger Thermal Work Function: Definition of Temperature-Invariant Enthalpy in Biological Systems? Paul W .

In reexamining the thermodynamic parameters of a number of self-associating protein systems in the standard state near 300 K, we found that at the stable temperature ( Ts), the thermodynamic quantities AGo(Ts) and AW(TJ reach a minimum and maximum, respectively, while T U o (Ts)approaches zero. On the basis of the Planck-Benzinger thermal work function, AW(7') = A H O ( T 0 ) - AGo(T). Therefore W ( T 0 ) = AWD(T,) AGo(Ts)a t ( Ts).Values for W ( T 0 )a t ( Ts)for six self-associating protein systems were found to deviate by less than 0.05% from values for W ( T 0 )a t 0 K. We have demonstrated the universal applicability of the Planck-Benzinger thermal work function in the analysis of hydrophobic enhancement for protein folding, self-associating protein systems, micellization, and formation of biological membranes. Benzinger's definition is applied in measuring AH(To) for DNA unwinding and protein unfolding in the nonstandard state near 340 K. AH(7') = AH(T0) ACp(7') d T at the melting temperature, (Tm),where AH(7') and TAS(7')are of the same magnitude, A W ( b = AH(T0) and AG(7') approaches zero. Values for AH(T0) a t (Tm) for the proteins we examined deviated by less than 0.04% from values for AH( TO)a t 0 K. The heat of reaction of any biological system consists of two terms, the heat capacity integral between product and reactant, and the temperature-invariant chemical bond energy, AH( TO), which is a primary, indispensable source of the energy which allows life processes to proceed with quantitative precision. Failure to evaluate W (TO)or AH( TO)in assessing any biological system will thus give only a partial picture of the processes taking place within that system.

In an examination of the heat of reaction, it could be said that it is a composite of two expressions which have fundamentally different origins. One of the terms deals with the difference in heat capacities between products and reactants, while the other has a direct relationshipto chemical bonding. In micromolecular reactions, differences in heat capacities could be considered negligibleand consequently, the heat of reaction consists primarily of the contributionfrom the chemical bonding term and, therefore, is a close approximation of the chemical bonding energy. However, in the case of macromolecular interactions such as those we have examined1-3.596J*J2the difference between the heat capacities of products and reactants may be substantial enough to totally obscure any differencebetween the chemical bond term and the heat integral. Thus the heat of reaction cannot be used to accurately represent the chemical bond forces associated with these systems. It was Benzinger2whorecognized that the enthalpy term AH(7') is a compositeterm representing both the chemical bonding energy and the heat of a given reaction in the nonstandard state, such that (1) AH(To),the chemical bond energy at 0 K, is a virtual quantity invariant with temperature and integrals of the differencein heat capacities between reactants and product together contributing to the Gibbs free energy function.' Therefore, the heat integral

invariant quantity, AH(To), is a primary source of the chemical bond energy essential for any reaction to proceed in an interacting system, and thus indispensable in the consideration of any biological interaction. It has, however, proven extremely difficult to measure AH(T0) at zero degrees Kelvin, although several attempts have been made. Proximate values have been extrapolated by the Nernst heat theorem.2JJfjJOJl In this communication, we describe a method of evaluating the temperature-invariant chemical bond energy, AW (TO), for selfassociating protein systems in the standard state, where TASO(7') = 0 at the stable temperature ( TJ near 300 K. It is thus possible to compare values of A H O ( T 0 ) at ( Ts)and at 0 K. Benzinger's definition, Equation (l), is then applied in measuring AH(T0) for DNA unwinding or protein unfolding in the nonstandard state at the melting temperature (T,) near 340 K, where AH( 7') and TAS(7') are of the same magnitude, AW( 7') = AH(T0) and AG(7') approaches zero.

having the dimension of entropy, not of heat. This function cannot serve as a term in an expression of chemical equilibrium. Those criteria are met by formulation of the Planck-Benzinger thermal work

(i) Computational Procedure for Self-Associating Protein Systems in the Standard State. The question of whether the thermodynamic functions must, by definition, exhibit zero slope at 0 K, in order to be consistent with the third law of thermodynamics, appears to be central to any discussion of the resulting data. It is also essential that AGo(T) and M(7') converge at AH(T0). We tested an exponential model, a log model, a four-term polynomial function, AGo(T) = a + BT yT2 + 6F,and a three-term polymonial function, eq 8, in order to find the best fit of the data for a number of self-associating protein systems. In our treatment, the Gibbs free energy data in the standard state were fitted to a three-term linear polynomial in the 2733 13 K temperature range, the range in which experiments had been conducted (a-chymotrypsin:13J4S C A M apo A-II;lSbovine liver L-glutamatedehydrogenase;16glucagon;17tubulin (Mg2+);1* tubulin (colchicine). The remaining thermodynamic parameters were determined by manipulation of the Gibbs polynomial function:

In terms of the Planck-Benzinger thermal work function, A W(T), the directional driving energy potentially available in any interacting system, is made up of the sum total of the chemical bond energy and the Gibbs free energy. Both terms are reversible heat fluxes. The thermal work function is merely a different viewpoint of eq. (3) in terms of the heat obtainable from the formation of chemical bonds between interacting units, a constant over all temperatures, and the heat potentially available in a chemical bond, released when the bond is broken:

where AHo ( TO)= a,using the general linear model procedure of IMSL'sI mathematical and statistical subroutines of Vax 11/ 750. Innumerable techniques of error-minimizing statistical analysis20were also applied to determine the polynomial function which would give the best possible fit in the maximum number of cases. Once evaluated as shown in Table 1, the coefficients a,8, and y were fitted to other thermodynamic polynomials. The goodness of fit of the experimental data was 99%or better in each case." Thermodynamic parameters AHo( T), ACpo( T), TASO(T), and A W ( T ) were then defined as follows:

assuming that the heat capacity integral upon which these expressions are based is a continuous function. The values for these thermodynamic quantities were further extrapolated as a function of temperature down to 0 K using eqs 7 and 8. Values of these thermodynamic parameters were regenerated from the fitted coefficients of a,8, and 7, as shown in Figures 1A-6,using IMSL's program in which each equation was iteratively executed in do loops in steps of 1 K, and the values were plotted and overlaid for each set of experimental conditions. Each data point was evaluated with extrapolation of F statistics. The linear polynomial function for AGo(T) provided a reasonably good fit for the self-associating protein systems.

Benzinger first formulated the thermal work function in 1971, but its potential was largely ignored, due in part to the fact that it had not been clearlydefined. Subsequently, we hampreciselydcfmed this new state function, AWO(T), which we have designated the Planck-Benzinger thermal work function. Gibbs free energy for an ideal diatomic molecule in the standard state: God- = (AVa - EOo) = - NkT In f / e where Goais the thermodynamic potential. What counts is the effective minimum values at chemical equilibrium obtainable from the partition function,J32 The Gibbs free energy function was defined as ( G o ~ - E o o ) / Tand , subsequentlydefined byGiauqueas(GOT-HOo)/T. Letting ( G o ~ - P ~ ) / T = - # O /then T , (GoT - PO) = -v. For an ideal gas, this function would be analogous to the Planck-Benzinger thermal work function. (3) Chun, P. W. Biophys.
