Loss of translational entropy in molecular associations.
Proteins - 1 Jan 2004
Siebert Xavier, Amzel L Mario
Abstract excerpt
Molecular associations in solution are opposed by the loss of entropy (DeltaS) that results from the restriction of motion of each component in the complex. Theoretical estimates of DeltaS are essential for rationalizing binding affinities, as well as for calculating entropic contribution to enzyme catalysis. Recently a statistical-mechanical framework has been proposed for estimating efficiently the...
