32 F420 coenzyme models with alkylation of the three different N atoms (N1, N3 and N10) in the core structure (XFH(-)) were designed and synthesized and the thermodynamic driving forces (defined in terms of the molar enthalpy changes or the standard redox potentials in this work) of the 32 XFH(-) releasing hydride ions, hydrogen atoms and electrons, the thermodynamic driving forces of the 32 XF...

New data on the variation of thermal expansion ice Ih with temperature at ambient pressure together new evaluations bulk modulus and earlier for heat capacity provide basis a coherent thermodynamic modeling main thermophysical properties over its whole range stability. The quasi-harmonic approximation one Debye term seven Einstein terms, explicit anharmonicity, represents dominant contribution ...

Temperature-dependent efflorescence and ice nucleation results of ammonium sulfate aerosol obtained from flow tube studies are analyzed using a newly developed model based on scaled nucleation theory. The presented thermodynamic model defines trajectories of constant reduced nucleation barrier height as a function of temperature and yields simple analytic expressions for the liquid-solid nuclea...

A toolbox for the development and reduction of the dynamical models of nonequilibrium systems is presented. The main components of this toolbox are: Legendre integrators, dynamical postprocessing, and thermodynamic projector. Thermodynamic projector is the tool to transform almost arbitrary anzatz to a thermodynamically consistent model, the postprocessing is the cheapest way to improve the sol...

A previously developed cell theory model of liquid water was used to evaluate the excess thermodynamic properties of confined clusters of water molecules. The results are in good agreement with reference thermodynamic integration calculations, suggesting that the model is adequate to probe the thermodynamic properties of water at interfaces or in cavities. Next, the grid cell theory (GCT) metho...

Thermodynamic data are often used to calibrate or test amomic-level (AL) force fields for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In contrast, the majority of coarse-grained (CG) force fields do not rely extensively on thermodynamic quantities. Recently, a CG force field for lipids, hydrocarbons, ions, and water, in which approximately four non-hydrogen atoms are mapped onto one interaction site, ...

A system responding to a stochastic driving signal can be interpreted as computing, by means of its dynamics, an implicit model of the environmental variables. The system's state retains information about past environmental fluctuations, and a fraction of this information is predictive of future ones. The remaining nonpredictive information reflects model complexity that does not improve predic...

Thermodynamic consistency test of isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of various binary systems containing Carbon dioxide (CO2)/Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been investigated in wide ranges of pressures in each isotherm precisely. In this paper Generic van der Waals (GvdW) equation of state (EoS) coupled with modified van der Waals Berthelot mixing rule has ...

The phenomenon of entropy-enthalpy (S-H) compensation is widely invoked as an explanatory principle in thermodynamic analyses of proteins, ligands, and nucleic acids. It has been suggested that this compensation is an intrinsic property of either complex, fluctuating, or aqueous systems. The questions examined here are whether the observed compensation is extra-thermodynamic (i.e., reflects any...
