Determination of the equilibrium constants of associating protein systems. VII. Thermodynamic analysis of linear and helical association.
The expression of free energy change for linear and helical association based on Casper's definition as applied to Oosawa and Kasai's model is described. Redefinition of the thermodynamic quantity zeta indicates that it is dependent on Deltaf(B), the free energy change in the formation of B-bonds, rather than mean distortion energy as previously believed.
