Popis: The urea- and pressure-induced dissociation of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and proton involvement were investigated using a thermodynamic approach that considered the extent of reaction for protons and urea. The stoichiometry of these effectors was determined, as were the Gibbs free energy of dissociation (ΔGD), the volume change associated with dissociation (ΔV) and the Hill coefficient (H). At low pressure, the proton release ($$\mu_{{H^{ + } }}$$) was 1.9 and 1.4 mol H+/mol of TMV at pH 4.8 and 6.8, respectively. Below pH 4.5 and at pH 6.2, there was proton absorption ($$\mu_{{H^{ + } }}$$
