2. You are analyzing a protein that has two possible conformations, "open" and "closed". Assume that each conformation corresponds to exactly one state. At 300K, the protein exists in the open state 60% of the time. A) Which state has a lower energy? Explain. B) Find the difference in energy levels, expressed in molar units (i.e., J/mol or kJ/mol ). C) Find the value of the partition function at 300K, assuming a ground state energy of zero
