The analysis of the interaction between C-60 and lysozyme provides general rules to identify the forces that govern the thermodynamics of binding between proteins and carbon nanopartides. The main driving force of the binding are van der Waals interactions. Polar solvation and entropy, contributions that are often neglected, are strongly detrimental to the binding. These energetically relevant terms must be taken into account when protein/CNP hybrids are designed.
