Range	25-46 cal/mol/Å^2
Organism	Unspecified
Reference	Lee B. Calculation of volume fluctuation for globular protein models. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1983 Jan80(2):622-6. Table - link PubMed ID6572909
Method	? (right column in table) obtained by using the rms(dv) values and Eq. 4 at 25°C: rms(dV)=(kT/2?)×ro. Suppose a protein molecule is considered as a sphere that is isotropically compressible up to a certain minimum size ro, ? is the proportionality constant and formally represents the interfacial tension between the protein and the solvent, and k and T are the Boltzmann constant and the absolute temperature, respectively. V is volume.
