Аннотация: Random and protein-like copolymers based on N-vinylcaprolactam and N-vinylimidazole are synthesized by free radical polymerization in an aqueous solution. The above copolymers show a different thermal behavior in aqueous media at pH 7.2. At 45 degrees C, the solution of a random copolymer experiences phase separation, whereas a protein-like copolymer undergoes a transition from the unfolded conformation to the compact conformation without any phase separation. The method of isothermal titration calorimetry is used to study the binding of Cu(II) ions by protein-like and random copolymers of N-vinylcaprolactam and N-vinylimidazole at 25 and 45 degrees C, which correspond to different conformational states of macromolecules. The standard enthalpy and constant of binding are estimated. For both copolymers, the enthalpies of binding are negative and similar. When temperature is increased from 25 to 45 degrees C, the constant of binding of copper ions by a protein-like copolymer increases by more than three orders of magnitude, whereas the corresponding constant of a random copolymer remains almost unchanged. Therefore, the transition of protein-like copolymer from the coiled conformation to the compact conformation noticeably facilitates the formation of an imidazole quasi-receptor, which is characterized by a certain spatial configuration and by a high affinity for the functional ligand. This effect is provided by an entropy gain no less than 50 J/(mol K). DOI: 10.1134/S0965545X10040024
