Abstract: The thermodynamic functions of protonation reactions of α-carboxyl group of twelvekinds of amino acids--alanine?valine, lysine, leucine, phenylalanine, methionine, trypto-phan, threonine, serine, arginine, glutamic acid and glycine, have been determined by titration calorimetry combined with computer fit program. The differences between △H, AG, lgK, △Sof the protonation reactions of amino acids have been reported. By comparison with pHtitration method, it is simple, rapid and would be obtained simultaneously the total thermodynamic functions-IgK, △H, △G and △S.
