✦ Synopsis

The conformational entropy is the largest unfavorable effect that must be overcome during protein folding and binding. Accurate predictions of protein stability and binding affinity require a precise way of evaluating conformational entropy changes. Previously we implemented a computational approach aimed at estimating conformational entropy changes in peptides (D'Aquino et al.,
