Popis: Enthalpies of solution and dilution of L-α-aminobutyric acid, L-α-isoleucine, L-α-phenylalanine, L-proline and L-α-methionine in water at a temperature of 298.15 K have been measured. The values of dilution enthalpy were used to determine enthalpic homogeneous interaction coefficients which characterize the interactions between zwitterions of the examined L-α-amino acids in water. The effect of side substituents in a molecule of L-α-amino acids on the direct homogeneous interactions in water and the effect of these substituents on the surrounding water molecules have been discussed. Quantum chemical semiempirical calculations of the structure of L-a-aminobutyric acid and several of its hydrates were carried out.
