The suitability of sedimentation equilibrium for characterizing the self-association of muscle glycogen phosphorylase b has been reappraised. Whereas sedimentation equilibrium distributions for phosphorylase b in 40 mM Hepes buffer (pH 6.8) supplemented with 1 mM AMP signify a lack of chemical equilibrium attainment, those in buffer supplemented additionally with potassium sulfate conform with ...

In this paper, the quantum chemistry calculations related to the structural parameter of the chromite and molybdate anions and the complexes obtained from them with the glycine and alanine amino acids were performed. The calculations were carried out using HF and DFT methods and in the base series 6-31G *. Thermodynamic studies related to the formation of complexes have been considered and thei...

We revisit the issues on the thermodynamic property of stellar self-gravitating system arising from Tsallis’ non-extensive entropy. Previous papers (Physica A 307 (2002) 185; ibid. (2003) in press (cond-mat/0204315)) have revealed that the extremum-state of Tsallis entropy, so-called stellar polytrope, has consistent thermodynamic structure, which predicts the thermodynamic instability due to t...

For studying the thermodynamic properties of systems using statistical mechanics we propose an ensemble that lies in between the familiar canonical and microcanonical ensembles. From a comparative study of these ensembles we conclude that all these ensembles may not yield the same results even in the thermodynamic limit except at high temperatures. An investigation of the coupling between syste...

Thermodynamic studies of equilibrium chemical reactions linked with kinetic procedures are mostly impossible by traditional approaches. In this work, the new concept of generalized kinetic study of thermodynamic parameters is introduced for dynamic data. The examples of equilibria intertwined with kinetic chemical mechanisms include molecular charge transfer complex formation reactions, pH-depe...
