Thermodynamics of Enzyme Substrate Binding
The binding of a substrate to an enzyme is characterized by a standard enthalpy change (ΔH°) of -15 kJ/mol and a standard entropy change (ΔS°) of -40 J/(mol·K) at 298 K. Based on these thermodynamic data, which of the following noncovalent interactions is most likely the primary driving force for this binding?
A
Hydrogen bonding
B
Ionic interactions
C
London dispersion forces
D
Hydrophobic interactions
