Methods for determining the thermal measurements of biological objects have found ever increasing application in biology. This paper analyzes the temperature dependence of the heat capacity of biopolymer solutions between 4–400°K. Four distinct temperature regions were discovered, and experiments on these temperature intervals are given.
