Assume that some protein molecule, in its folded native state, has one favored conformation. But, when it is denatured, it becomes a “random coil,” with many possible conformations.
(a) What must be the sign of AS for the change: native → denatured?
(b) How will the contribution of AS for native → denatured affect the favorability of the process? What apparent requirement does this impose on ΔH if proteins are to be stable structures?
