Comparison of free energies derived from LIE and experiment at 298 K and neutral pH^a.

Complex	$\mathrm{\Delta }{\mathit{G}}_{\mathit{bind},\exp }$ [kJ/mol]	$\mathrm{\Delta }{\mathit{G}}_{\mathit{bind},\mathit{predicted}}$ [kJ/mol]
BSA-CTAB	−22.9443,44	−24.00 ± 3.50
BSA-SDS	−34.8942,44,45	−27.90 ± 3.60
BSA-HPS	−23.6544	−25.39 ± 4.00
BSA-OG	−13.54 ± 0.444	−13.10 ± 3.10

^aCalculated value for SDS using association constant reported by Gelamo and Tabak⁴⁴ is 29.36 kJ/mol and values reported by De et al.⁴² and Nielson et al.⁴⁵ are 32.40 kJ/mol and 42.9 kJ/mol, giving average of 34.89 kJ/mol over all authors.
