An unwanted reaction of a drug or other therapeutic. Basically,
an adverse side effect.

Exothermic, because the reaction enthalpy must be negative.
With polymerization, the entropy decreases. The Gibbs energy has
to be negative. Thus negative reaction enthalpy.
Gibbs energy = reaction enthalpy - temperature*entropy

When a chemical reaction has a negative delta G, the reaction is
exothermic because delta G is the change in energy of a system and
the change in its entropy. If the effect of a reaction is to reduce
G, the process will be spontaneous so delta G is negative.
