Abstract
A relation giving the distribution of the energies and the entropy of a set of identical bonds as a function of a suitably defined bond strength E is derived. The resulting normal distributions have energies that increase monotonically with E and entropies with a maximum at E/RT=ln 2 and almost negligible values at E/RT>5-7. Association of two protein subunits involves conversion of two sets of protein-water bonds (P-W) into separate water-water (W-W) and protein-protein (P-P) sets, and the constant W-W bond strength permits the determination of the P-P and P-W bond strengths from the experimental enthalpies and entropies of subunit association
