**Ligand–protein interactions** are associated with the desolvation of a ligand as it enters the protein‐binding pocket (see cover picture). Homans and co‐workers describe in their Communication on page 6374 ff. an estimate of the thermodynamic cost associated with this desolvation process. These da
## Abstract The binding of azide ion to horse‐heart myoglobins has been studied at pH 6.98 and at various temperatures. The results show that the azide complex is not completely loe spin and that the spin population is strongly dependent on temperature. We have shown that with some assumption it is
