It is found that, difference between the heat capacities depends linearly on temperature. To establish the hydration effect during the folding and unfolding of the
proteins, physical properties of the apolar dissociation have been used [G. Oylumluoglu, et al., Physica A 361 (2006) 255–262]. In the thermodynamical investigation of the protein system, in order to introduce the chemical potential

In this study, the macro-canonical ensemble is obtained from the canonical ensemble. In this approach the
proteins are taken in a heat bath, and also it is supposed that the system is in a particle reservoir. When this reservoir reaches to an equilibrium the number of particles take an average value. In this study, with the purpose of revealing the additional effect to the heat capacity, the partition functions of the
proteins obtained in single protein molecule approach are taken. In this way, additional free energy has been related to heat capacities. Calculating the heat capacity
