Thermodynamic properties for a chemical reaction in which amino acids are linked to form a protein?

Answer 1

+delta H, -delta S, +delta G

Answer 2

The formation of a protein from amino acids is an endothermic reaction, requiring energy input to overcome the energy barrier. The reaction is driven by the entropy gain associated with the increase in disorder as the individual amino acids are linked to form a larger molecule. The Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for the reaction must be negative for it to occur spontaneously.
