... Enthalpy: Since the alanine is in the core, its sidechain is making extensive van der Waals interactions with other residues. Replacement by Gly will cause the loss of these interactions, therefore the enthalphy required for denaturation will decrease. Entropy: The sidechain of alanine is more non-p ...
