Let's consider the enthalpy of protein folding for the generic protein shown above. Recall that enthalpy is the heat content of a system $($symbolized with the term H$).$ AH is roughly equivalent to the energy required to break bonds $($or non$-$covalent interactions$)$ and the energy gained by forming new ones.
