ΔCp, heat capacity change; obtained from ΔH/dT.

ΔASAmin and ΔASAmax, changes in solvent-accessible surface areas assuming that all changes were conferred by either apolar or 70% apolar and 30% polar surfaces, respectively.

Calculated for 30°C from the first derivative of the second-order polynomial fit to ΔH measured at five different temperatures between 10 and 30°C.

Obtained from the slope of the linear fit to ΔH measured at different temperatures between 5 and 30°C.

Calculated from the crystal structures of GDP- and GTP-bound eIF5B relative to the apo state.
