A first reading of the results reveals that there is a change of enthalpy and entropy during the transition state corresponding to 20% approximately of the total measured in the folding.

Altering the tip position on that scale modifies the transition’s barrier and attempt rate in a highly correlated fashion, which results in a single-molecular enthalpy-entropy compensation.

Despite having a large enthalpy of mixing, these materials can surprisingly crystalize in a single crystal structure, enabled by the large configurational entropy in the lattice.
