Thermodynamics of the Interactions of Peptides with α- and β-Cyclodextrins

The enthalpies of solution of α- and β-cyclodextrins is aqueous peptide solutions were determined experimentally at 298.15 K. The obtained results were used to calculate pair cross interaction parameters between solutes. The results are discussed in terms of the likelysolute–solute interactions. For systems α-cyclodextrin+peptide and β-cyclodextrin+peptide the diametrically opposite character of interaction defined by structure and solvation of the molecules is observed.
