Ction of ,0.8 kcal/mol, the free energy cost of hydrophobic solvation of the methyl group. A possible explanation for this smaller effect is that the binding of fatty acids to COMPcc is accompanied by a loss of conformational entropy in the aliphatic chain. In other words, when fatty acids bind to COMPcc, the aliphatic chain …
