Table 1.

Gibbs energies of binding of viruses. Part (A): Gibbs energies of binding calculated from dissociation constants. The “Reference” column gives sources from which the dissociation constants were taken. Part (B): Gibbs energies of binding calculated from enthalpies and entropies of binding. The “Reference” column gives sources from which the ΔbH and ΔbS values were taken. Part (C): Gibbs energies of binding reported in the literature and references from which they were taken. Symbols: Kd—dissociation constant; Kb—binding affinity; ΔbG—Gibbs energy of binding; ΔbG—enthalpy of binding; ΔbS—entropy of binding.
