[eng] In the present thesis, single-molecule experiments have been carried out using optical tweezers with a temperature controller. Employing equilibrium and non-equilibrium experiments, the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy during the molecular folding of the protein barnase and different DNA hairpins have been determined as a function of temperature. From these measurements, we derived the heat capacity change per base pair during the DNA hybridization reaction. In addition, with a new analysis developed in this thesis, the data obtained have allowed us to characterize the thermodynamic properties of the transition state in the free energy landscape governing molecular folding. These results have revealed the nature of the transition st...
