Abstract
A statistical mechanical model was developed for use in connection with the problem of preferential binding of solvent components to proteins and of conformational transition in water‐organic solvent systems. The model is a statistical one for the conformational transition of globular proteins induced by the adsorption of solutes in the solution, considered as a nearest‐neighbor problem in statistical mechanics. Although a few illustrative examples are given, the actual interpretations of the experimental data using this theory are reserved for a later paper.
