2nd law of thermodynamics. (a) Explain the second law of thermodynamics and use an example to illustrate why this law is true. (b) Given the 2nd law of thermodynamics, how is it thermodynamically possible that a protein can spontaneously fold given the inordinate number of conformations available to it in the denatured form and the limited allowable arrangements in the native form (i.e., ΔS < 0 for the protein folding process).
