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.
焓-熵补偿是生物系统中许多化学反应和过程的一个普遍特征,但其起源一直不明。一个简单的热力学观点表明,焓-熵补偿是弱分子间相互作用的一个普遍特性,并且在300 K时,氢键对自由能的这两种贡献应该几乎相互抵消。
