Tables of standard chemical potentials of compounds of biological interest. The standard chemical potentials (molar Gibbs energies of formation from the chemical elements) were collected from various literature resources. Then Legendre transformations a la Alberty et al 2011 were done with respect to protons, Mg2+, water, and also Legendre-like transformations for phosphate, sulfate, bicarbonate and ammonium. All together this resulted in the new 'standard metabolic potentials', which should be ...

A chapter on generalized thermodynamics. The chapter is not specifically about biology although it uses many examples in biology due to the richness of the topic. It deals with the first and second law of thermodynamics, catalysts, and engines. This includes heat engines, heat pumps, and protonmotive ATP synthase.
