Abstract
The expression of free energy change for linear and helical association based on Casper's definition as applied to Oosawa and Kasai's model is described. Redefinition of the thermodynamic quantity ζ indicates that it is dependent on ΔfB, the free energy change in the formation of B-bonds, rather than mean distortion energy as previously believed.
