  • you are a wonderful man

    the protein looses energy and entropy

    the water gets warmer.

    in a closed system entropy(disarray) will only go up on longer timescales and in bigger spaces.

    the system will go into the direction of higher likelyhood.

    It is more likely that the hydrophobic parts will be on the inside than on the outside, so at some point they will endup on the inside.

    the protein + water gained entropy.

  • i don't get it. so what drives protein folding: negative entropy or positive entropy?

  • Thanks chup, you shall be duly referenced in my extended essay for my unit on protein folding! :D

  • Very cool!

  • Interesting to see how this stuff works. Great vid
