An infintesimal amount of energy above the Gibbs Free Energy value (delta G) usually represent the minimum energy required to drive a reaction forward. Is there any case(s) where the entropy term (delta s) should be included when calculating the theoretical minimum energy of a reaction? Please provide case(s) with reference.

Thank you in advance.
