Like all material things, the structure and behaviour of biological systems are governed by the interplay between the thermal motion of molecules and the various interaction forces between them. This chapter reviews the basics of thermodynamic equilibrium at the molecular level, leading to ways in which we can measure the various components of thermodynamic forces in biomolecular systems.
