Table 2. Thermodynamic Characteristics Deduced from in Silico Indentations: Change in Enthalpy ΔH, Entropy TΔS, and Free Energy ΔG (with Standard Deviations) Associated with the Disruption of a Single Lateral Bond (Interface) and Longitudinal Bonda.
interface | ΔG, kcal/mol | ΔH, kcal/mol | TΔS, kcal/mol |
---|---|---|---|
lateral | 6.9 ± 0.4 | 9.3 ± 0.8 | 2.5 ± 0.7 |
longitudinal | 14.9 ± 1.5 | 25.7 ± 2.2 | 10.8 ± 2.5 |
Averaging is performed over all indentation points (1–7, Figure 1C) and for 10 and 15 nm tip.
