Abstract
Enthalpy-entropy compensation is a general feature of many chemical reactions and processes in biological systems, but its origin has remained obscure. A simple thermodynamic argument suggests that enthalpy-entropy compensation is a general property of weak intermolecular interactions, and that the two contributions to the free energy should nearly balance out for a hydrogen bond at 300 K.Entities:
