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 pH and, perhaps, pMg 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 pHs * 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.Content: Chapter 1 Thermodynamics of the Dissociation of Weak Acids (pages 1–27): Chapter 2 Introduction to Apparent Equilibrium Constants (pages 29–42): Chapter 3 Biochemical Reactions at Specified Temperature and Various pHs (pages 43–70): Chapter 4 Biochemical Reactions at Various pHs and Various Temperatures (pages 71–107): Chapter 5 Biochemical Reactions at Specified pHs, pMgs, and Various Temperatures (pages 109–129): Chapter 6 Development of a Database on Species (pages 131–147): Chapter 7 Uses of Matrices in Biochemical Thermodynamics (pages 149–172): Chapter 8 Oxidoreductase Reactions (Class 1) at 298.15 K (pages 173–208): Chapter 9 Transferase Reactions (Class 2) at 298.15 K (pages 209–219): Chapter 10 Hydrolase Reactions (Class 3) at 298.15 K (pages 221–241): Chapter 11 Lyase Reactions (Class 4), Isomerase Reactions (Class 5), and Ligase Reactions (Class 6) at 298.15 K (pages 243–258): Chapter 12 Survey of Reactions at 298.15 K (pages 259–319): Chapter 13 Survey of Reactions at Various Temperatures (pages 321–353): Chapter 14 Thermodynamics of the Binding of Ligands by Proteins (pages 355–364): Chapter 15 Calorimetry of Biochemical Reactions (pages 365–379):
