Thermodynamics of isomerization reactions involving sugar phosphates.

Thermodynamics of hydrolysis of sugar phosphates.

Thermodynamics of the enzyme-catalyzed (alkaline phosphatase, EC 3.1.3.1) hydrolysis of glucose 6-phosphate, mannose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, ribose 5-phosphate, and ribulose 5-phosphate have been investigated using microcalorimetry and, for the hydrolysis of fructose 6-phosphate, chemical equilibrium measurements. Results of these measurements for the processes sugar phosphate2- (aqu...

Thermodynamics of Electrochemical Reactions

The wish to determine thermodynamic data of electrochemical reactions and of the involved compounds is one of the most important motivations to perform electrochemical measurements. After calorimetry, electrochemistry is the second most important tool to determine thermodynamic data. Although ab initio quantum chemical calculations can be used for the calculation of thermodynamic data of small ...

Thermodynamics of Enzyme-Catalysed Reactions

Since the pH is treated as an independent variable in biochemical thermodynamics, the Gibbs energy G does not provide the criterion for equilibrium, but the transformed Gibbs energy G’ does. The standard transformed Gibbs energy of formation DfG’ of a reactant (sum of species) can be calculated at the desired temperature, pH, and ionic strength if the standard Gibbs energies of formation DfG an...

On the Geometrical Thermodynamics of Chemical Reactions

Abstract. The formal structure of geometrical thermodynamics is reviewed with particular emphasis on the geometry of equilibria submanifolds. On these submanifolds thermodynamic metrics are defined as the Hessian of thermodynamic potentials. Links between geometry and thermodynamics are explored for single and multiple component, closed and open systems. For single component, closed thermodynam...
