Best experimental estimate for the entropic-interaction term

Range	~10 kT
Organism	Generic
Reference	Jonathon Howard, Mechanics of Motor Proteins and the Cytoskeleton, 2001 Sinauer Associates, Inc. p.160 3rd paragraph
Comments	"The best experimental estimate for the entropic-interaction term is ~10kT, based on the polymerization of tubulin (Erickson and Pantaloni, 1981), actin (Erickson, 1989) and sickle hemoglobin (Cao and Ferrone, 1997) on the binding of desthiobiotin to avidin (Jencks, 1981) and on the modeling of protein-protein association constants in terms of solvation energies (Horton and Lewis, 1992)."
