Abstract The heat capacity change, ΔCp, accompanying the folding/unfolding of macromolecules reflects their changing state of hydration. Thermal denaturation of the DNA duplex is characterized by an increase in ΔCp but of much lower magnitude than observed for proteins. To understand this difference, the changes in solvent accessible surface area (ΔASA) have been determined for unfolding the B-form DNA duplex into disordered single strands. These showed that the polar component represents ~ 55% of the total increase in ASA, in contrast to globular proteins of similar molecular weight for which the polar component is only about 1/3rd of the total. As the exposure of polar surface results in a decrease of ΔCp, this explains the much reduced heat capacity increase observed for DNA and emphasizes the enhanced role of polar interactions in maintaining duplex structure. Appreciation of a non-zero ΔCp for DNA has important consequences for the calculation of duplex melting temperatures (Tm). A modified approach to Tm prediction is required and comparison is made of current methods with an alternative protocol.

The method of Clarke and Glew has been used to obtain estimates of the precision of measurement of the thermodynamic functions for the solution of hydrocarbons, the noble gases, and inert diatomic gases in water. In some cases, the precision of the data is such that a statistically significant value for the temperature coefficient of the heat-capacity change for the solution process is obtained. Comparison with the theory of Nemethy and Scheraga shows that their calculations of heat-capacity changes at 25 °C are better than previously believed, but that their prediction of a positive temperature coefficient for this quantity is in contradiction with most data.
