“…Indeed, as shown in Table IV, these parameters are nearly identical for the small thiocyanate ion and the larger organic molecule of salicylate containing the aromatic ring. Despite this anomaly, it is possible to draw relevant conclusions from the strikingly different thermodynamic parameters recorded for warfarin and azo dyes (15) as contrasted with those for d-tryptophan (25), salicylate (5), and thiocyanate (26). The binding of the first group is characterized by a low negative enthalpy and a considerable positive entropy; the binding by the second group is characteristically enthalpy driven opposed by the negative entro-PY.…”
