Thermodynamic data for proteins are important for understanding the mechanism of protein folding and stability. In recent years, the accumulation of thermodynamic data has been steadily increasing. Pfeil [4] collected a set of thermodynamic data on protein folding and stability from experimental studies that have been published until 1996. Recently, we have developed an electronically accessibl...

On the basis of the selected thermodynamic data for Ru(III) and Ru(IV) compounds in addition to original thermodynamic and graphical approach used in this paper, the thermodynamic stability areas of sparingly soluble hydroxides as well as the repartition of their soluble and insoluble chemical species towards the solution pH and initial concentrations of ruthenium in heterogeneous mixture solid...

Modified nucleobase analogues can serve as powerful tools for changing physicochemical and biological properties of DNA or RNA. Guanosine derivatives containing bulky substituents at 8 position are known to adopt syn conformation of N-glycoside bond. On the contrary, in RNA the anti conformation is predominant in Watson-Crick base pairing. In this paper two 8-substituted guanosine derivatives, ...

A brief historical review is given to the substantiation of the thermodynamic principle of substance stability that governs chemical and biological evolution. It is stated that this principle can be extended to all structural hierarchies in the Universe. The author believes that there is a variable thermodynamic code of life implemented through the principle of substance stability at a level of...
