Navigate the complexities of biochemical thermodynamics with
Mathematica(r)
Chemical reactions are studied under the constraints of constant
temperature and constant pressure; biochemical reactions are
studied under the additional constraints of p H and, perhaps, p Mg or
free concentrations of other metal ions. As more intensive
variables are specified, more thermodynamic properties of a system
are defined, and the equations that represent thermodynamic
properties as a function of independent variables become more
complicated.
This sequel to Robert Alberty’s popular Thermodynamics of
Biochemical Reactions describes how researchers will find
Mathematica(r) a simple and elegant tool, which makes it possible
to perform complex calculations that would previously have been
impractical. Biochemical Thermodynamics: Applications of
Mathematica(r) provides a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of
biochemical thermodynamics using Mathematica(r) to practically
resolve thermodynamic issues.
Topics covered include:
* Thermodynamics of the dissociation of weak acids
* Apparent equilibrium constants
* Biochemical reactions at specified temperatures and various
p Hs
* Uses of matrices in biochemical thermodynamics
* Oxidoreductase, transferase, hydrolase, and lyase reactions
* Reactions at 298.15K
* Thermodynamics of the binding of ligands by proteins
* Calorimetry of biochemical reactions
Because Mathematica(r) allows the intermingling of text and
calculations, this book has been written in Mathematica(r) and
includes a CD-ROM containing the entire book along with macros that
help scientists and engineers solve their particular problems.
