These calorimeters differ from anothercategory of differential scanning calorimeter in that the formerhave generally larger sample volumes, slower maximu

7、m tem-perature scan rate capabilities, provision for electrical calibra-tion of heat flow, and a smaller range of temperature overwhich they operate. The larger sample cells, and their lack ofdisposability, make inapplicable the calibration methods ofPractices E 967 and E 968.4.2 This practice consi

8、sts of heating the calibration mate-rials in aqueous solution at a controlled rate through a region ofknown thermal transition. The difference in heat flow betweenthe calibration material and a reference material, both relativeto a heat reservoir, is monitored and continuously recorded. Atransition

10、ion, a chemicalcalibration serves to verify the correct operation of the calibra-tion mechanism and the calorimeter. The thermal denaturationof chicken egg white lysozyme is used in this practice forverification of the proper functioning of the instrumentssystems. The accuracy with which the denatur

11、ation enthalpy ofchicken egg white lysozyme is currently known, 65%, is suchthat it should be rare that a calorimeter provides a value outsidethat established in the literature for this reference material.5. Significance and Use5.1 Fixed-cell differential scanning calorimeters are used todetermine t

12、he transition temperatures and energetics of mate-rials in solution. For this information to be accepted withconfidence in an absolute sense, temperature and heat calibra-tion of the apparatus or comparison of the resulting data to thatof known standard materials is required.5.2 This practice is use

Precautions7.1 This practice assumes linear temperature indication.Care must be taken in the application of this practice to ensurethat calibration points are taken sufficiently close together sothat linear temperature

Calibration Materials8.1 Phosphatidylcholines: 1,2-ditridecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DTPC) CAS Number 71242-28-9; and 1,2-ditetracosanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPC) CASNumber 91742-11-9. Purities are to be 0.99 or better. Addi-tional calibration mat

25、erials are listed in Table 1.8.1.1 Aqueous suspensions of the phosphatidylcholines areprepared as follows. Weighed amounts of a 0.01 Molar, pH 7solution of the buffer Na2HPO4 NaH2PO4and DTPC arecombined so to give a solution of 1 mass percent of thephosphatidylcholine. This procedure is repeated for

26、 DLPC.The solutions are heated in a hot water bath to 5 K above thetransition temperatures. A vortex mixer is used to shake thesolutions at their respective temperatures until the lipid appearsto have been completely suspended. The solutions may bestored in a refrigerator until use for up to a week.

If the spectrometer is a single beaminstrument, the buffer is measured first, then the lysozymesolution is measured

30、and the difference in the recorded absor-bances is used to calculate the concentration. Concentration iscalculated as:c 5 A / 2.65 mL mg21!where:A = absorbance, andc = concentration in mg mL-1.NOTE 1Different concentrations may be used between 1 and 10 masspercent, the concentration used shall be in

Procedure9.1 Two Point Temperature Calibration :9.1.1 Determine the apparent transition temperature foreach calibration material, as described in Table 1.9.1.1.1 Fill the clean specimen cell with the phosphatidyl-choline suspension, according to the usual method specified for

32、the instrument. Fill the reference cell with buffer solution thatwas used to prepare the phosphatidylcholine suspension.9.1.1.2 Equilibrate the calorimeter approximately 10 K to15 K below the expected transition temperature from Table 1.9.1.1.3 Heat each calibration material at the desired scanrate

36、maximum of the heat flow, Tp. See Fig. 19.1.3 Using the apparent transition temperatures thus ob-tained, calculate the slope (S) and intercept (I) of the calibra-tion Eq 1 (see Section 10). The slope and intercept valuesreported should be mean values from duplicate determinationsbased on separate sp

37、ecimens.9.2 One-Point Temperature Calibration :9.2.1 If the slope value (S) previously has been determinedin 9.1 (using the two-point calibration calculation in 10.2)tobesufficiently close to 1.0000, a one-point calibration proceduremay be used.NOTE 3If the slope value differs by only 1 % from linea

38、rity (that is,S 1.0100), a 0.5 C error will be produced if the testtemperature differs by 50 C from the calibration temperature.9.2.2 Select a calibration material from Table 1. The cali-bration temperature should be centered as close as practicalwithin the temperature range of interest.9.2.3 Determ

39、ine the apparent transition temperatures of thecalibration material using steps 9.1.1.1 9.1.1.1.9.2.4 Using the apparent transition temperature thus ob-tained, calculate the intercept (I) of the calibration equationusing all available decimal places. The value reported shouldbe a mean value based up

40、on duplicate determinations onseparate specimens.9.3 Enthalpy Calibration:9.3.1 If recommended by the instrument manufacturer,perform an electrical calibration per the manufacturers direc-tions.9.3.2 Determine the enthalpy of transition for the lysozymesolution.9.3.2.1 Fill the sample cell with the

41、lysozyme + buffersolution and fill the reference cell with the HCl-glycine buffersolution taking care that no air bubbles are retained in eitherof the cells.9.3.2.2 Equilibrate the calorimeter near room temperature,following equilibration the temperature of the calorimeter isramped at 60K/huntil a s

42、ufficient baseline is establishedbeyond the transition peak.NOTE 4Slower scan rates shall not be used in this step due to potentialaggregation of the denatured protein.9.3.2.3 The enthalpy of the denaturation is calculated byintegration, using a two-state transition baseline. This enthalpyis then di

43、vided by the mass of sample in the cell. The mass ofsample in the cell, m, is calculated as:m 5 vcwhere:v = is the volume of the measuring cell in milliliters.NOTE 5A two state model refers to a model that assumes thedenaturation reaction proceeds from a single native state to a singledenatured stat

44、e. Although the denaturation reaction involves a transitionbetween one manifold of states to another manifold of states, the two-statemodel adequately represents the average behavior for this protein. Theheat capacity of the solution with the native state protein is oftensignificantly different from

45、 the heat capacity of the solution with thedenatured protein. A two-state transition baseline is one that employs aheat capacity calculated from the thermodynamic progression from onestate to the next and the heat capacities of the aqueous solution of the twostates of the protein.9.3.2.4 A second en

46、thalpy of denaturation is calculatedusing a two-state model and the vant Hoff equation, which isbuilt into the software packages of most fixed-cell calorim-eters.NOTE 6Using the two state model, the equations: Q(T) = DHx(T)K(T) = x/(1-x) define the temperature dependence of the observed curve,if the

47、 enthalpy is defined by the vant Hoff relation: dlnK/dT = DH/RT2.where Q is the integrated enthalpy observed, DH is the enthalpy changefor the two-state reaction, K is the equilibrium constant for the reaction,R is the gas constant, x is the fraction of reactant converted to product andT is temperat

48、ure. The model can be fitted to the curve of apparent heatcapacity against temperature. Failure of the two state model occurs fromprecipitation reactions or other reactions that inhibit a reverse reaction inthe thermodynamic equilibrium.9.4 If practical, adjustment to the temperature scale of theins

49、trument should be made so that temperatures are accuratelyindicated directly.10. Calculation10.1 For the purposes of this procedure, it is assumed thatthe relationship between observed temperature (TO) and actualspecimen temperature (T) is a linear one governed by thefollowing equation:T 5 TO 3 S 1 I (1)where:S and I = the slope and intercept, respectively. (See 10.2for the values for S and I, used in Eq 1.)NOTE 7For some instruments, the assumption of a linear relationbetween observed and actual specimen temperature may not hold.
