Folding of proteins is As polypeptide folds, favorable (negative ) H values are the result in part of the sequestration of hydrophobic side chains within the interior of the molecule and the optimization of other non covalent interactions. Opposing these factors is the unfavorable decrease in entropy that occurs as the disorganized polypeptide folds into its highly organized native state. The change in entropy of the water that surrounds the protein is positive because of the decreased organization of the water in going from the unfolded to the folded state of protein. * the precarious balance between favorable and unfavorable forces allow proteins the flexibility they require for biological function
