  • Beschreibung: <jats:p> It can be useful to describe the Gibbs free energy changes for the binding to a protein of a molecule, A—B, and of its component parts, A and B, in terms of the “intrinsic binding energies” of A and B, Δ <jats:italic>G</jats:italic> <jats:sub>A</jats:sub> <jats:sup>i</jats:sup> and Δ <jats:italic>G</jats:italic> <jats:sub>B</jats:sub> <jats:sup>i</jats:sup> , and a “connection Gibbs energy,” Δ <jats:italic>G</jats:italic> <jats:sup>s</jats:sup> that is derived largely from changes in translational and rotational entropy. This empirical approach avoids the difficult or insoluble problem of interpreting observed ΔH and <jats:italic>T</jats:italic> Δ <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> values for aqueous solutions. The Δ <jats:italic>G</jats:italic> <jats:sup>i</jats:sup> and Δ <jats:italic>G</jats:italic> <jats:sup>s</jats:sup> terms can be large for binding to enzymes and other proteins. </jats:p>
