Words similar to entropic
Example sentences for: entropic
How can you use “entropic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The binding energy function, previously validated against a diversified benchmark [ 20 ] , includes a hydrophobic term, an electrostatic term, and an entropic term, but does not include Van der Waals energy, since this term is too noisy; Van der Waals interactions are supposed to be proportional to the interface of the interacting molecules, and incorporated into the surface (hydrophobic) term (see Materials and Methods).
2. The T59S mutants may pay a higher entropic cost in binding RNA since Ser59 could be more mobile than Thr59.
The binding energy function implemented in icm is partitioned into three terms: the hydrophobic, or cavity term, that accounts for the variation of water/non-water interface area, the electrostatic term, composed of the coulombic interactions and desolvation of partial charges calculated by the boundary elements method, and the entropic term, that results from the decrease in the conformational freedom of functional groups buried upon complexation [ 20 ] . A constant term also present in the energy function, that accounts for the change of entropy of the system due to the decrease of free molecules concentration and the loss of rotational/translational degrees of freedom, was omitted, and only differences in the binding energies of the ligands are accurate.
