Question: Consider the formation of a dimeric protein 2P P2 At 25C, we have H 5 17 kJ/mol and S 5 65 J/K ? mol.

Consider the formation of a dimeric protein
2P → P2
At 25°C, we have ∆H° 5 17 kJ/mol and ∆S° 5 65 J/K ? mol. Is the dimerization favored at this temperature? Comment on the effect of lowering the temperature. Does your result explain why some enzymes lose their activities under cold conditions?
