Answer Posted / kurt heller
when the protein goes from unfolded to folded, it looses a
lot of entropy
the opposite reactions is:
each peptide bonds have 2 watermolecules bonded, they are
released
formation of hydrogenbonds contribute with some energy
the net result is that the folded protein has an energy,
which is 50 kJoule/mol lower than the unfolded state, and
this is practically independent of the size of the protein!
