49. The van der Waals and Connolly molar volumes for sodium cholate were calculated using Materials Studio 4.1 (Accelrys, Inc.; San Diego, CA). The molecular structure of sodium cholate was derived from that of cholic acid which was determined from the Protein Data Bank (www.rcsb.org). A probe radius of 1.4 Å, (corresponding to the size of a water molecule) was utilized to calculate the Connolly molar volume.
