1 INTRODUCTION

Amino acids are considered as model compound instead of proteins in the presence of aqueous salt solutions to obtain thermodynamic information as the structure of proteins are highly complicated [1-4]. Some amino acids in the presence of aqueous minerals, such as sodium sulphate [2], CaCl2[5], NaCl [6], potassium thiocynate [7], are available in literature. However, the study of amino acids in the presence of aqueous salbutamol sulphate has not been reported so far. We have recently investigated some homologousa-amino acids such as glycine, L-alanine, L-valine and L-leucine in the presence of aqueous salbutamol sulphate through volumetric and viscometric studies. In this paper, we report 4-aminobutyric acid in aqueous salbutamol sulphate solutions.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The reported values of apparent molar volume data for the amino acids were found to be adequately represented by the linear equation [13].

The transfer volumes of the 4-aminobutyric acid may also be expressed by the McMillan Mayer theory [30] of solutions, which permits the formal separation of the effects due to interactions between the pairs of the solute molecules and those due to interactions between three or more solute molecules by the following equation.

where A stands for the amino acids and S stands for salbutamol sulphate.ASandASSare the pair and triplet volumetric interaction parameters. Using the above equation volumetric interaction parameters were estimated and given in Table 5.

TheASandASSvalues are positive and negative respectively. The large positiveASvalues suggest the domination of pair interactions for the 4-aminobutyric acid over triplet volumetric interaction parameters. Similar reports are available in the literature by Banipal[31].
