System a)	T 0 [K]	Δn ci	dΔc p/dc s [kJ mol–1 K–1 m –1]	ΔH 0 [kJ mol–1]	ΔS 0 [kJ mol–1 K–1]
Heparin/lysozyme[ 54 ]	296	2.95	39.1	−41.70	−0.071
dPGS/lysozyme[ 38 ]	290	2.51	−14.8	−14.75	0.016
DNA/Klentaq[ 7 , 8 ]	312	3.0	−31.9	−22.30	0.011

^a) T ₀: characteristic temperature (Equation (16)); Δn _ci: net number of released counterions (Equation (4)); dΔc _p/dc _s: coefficient characterizing the dependence of Δw on temperature and salt concentration (Equation (15)); ΔH ₀ and ΔS ₀: enthalpic and entropic contributions, respectively, at T = T ₀ (cf. Equations (14) and (20)).
