abstract = {In recent years, the response of biomolecules to a
temperature gradient has been utilized to monitor reactions
of biomolecules, but the underlying mechanism is not well
understood due to the complexity of the multicomponent
system. To identify some underlying principles, we
investigate the thermal diffusion of small amide molecules
in water systematically. We re-analyze previous measurements
of urea and formamide and compare the results with
acetamide, N-methylformamide, and N, N-dimethylformamide,
amides with a lower hydrophilicity. It turns out that less
hydrophilic substances do not show the typical temperature
dependence of water soluble macromolecules. Analyzing
temperature and concentration dependent measurements using
an empirical expression originally derived for nonpolar
mixtures, we find that the so-called isotope contribution
depends strongly on the hydrophilicity of the solute. This
can be qualitatively understood by comparing with molecular
dynamic simulations of Lennard-Jones fluids. The
hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance also influences the
structure in the fluid and with that the thermal expansion
coefficient, which correlates with the thermal diffusion
coefficient. Furthermore, we observe a clear correlation of
the temperature and concentration dependence of the Soret
coefficient with the hydrophilicity, which can be
quantitatively described by the partition coefficient log P},
