Helmholtz & Gibbs<br />

• Free energy defines most stable state<br />

when system exchanges heat with<br />

surrounding environment<br />

• F is the Helmholtz Free Energy<br />

• Valid at constant volume<br />

• At constant pressure we have H=E+pV<br />

• Gibbs Free Energy G=H-TS=E+pV-TS<br />

• For proteins, pV is typically very small<br />

Physics: Usually Helmholtz<br />

Chemistry: Usually Gibbs Why?
