Data files

For more than a thousand chemical species of biological interest the table gives standard chemical, standard apparent chemical, and dtandard metabolic potentials:

• Standard chemical potentials: extracted from various literature references (data sources indicated below the Table)
• Standard apparent chemical potentials as the above standard chemical potentials but further transformed for H+ and ionic strength; for Alberty conditions (pH=7.14, pMg=3.57, I=0.25 M Osm=0 M) and for new biochemical ...

The first sheet in this excel file is a Table that collects the standard Gibbs energies of formation (from the elements) of a large number of chemical species that are relevant for metabolism. It obtained these from a substantial number of sources, including Thauer et al and Alberty, as indicated at the bottom of the first sheet of the Table. Following Alberty, (2006) the Table also computes the further transformed Gibbs energies of formation, under the standard conditions also used by Alberty, ...

Westerhoff H.V. and Van Dam K. (1987) Thermodynamics and control of biological free-energy transduction, Elsevier, Amsterdam ISBN: 0-444-80783-7 (U.S.)

This monograph gives the basis of both non equilibrium thermodynamics and metabolic control analysis in biology. It is rife with examples from bioenergetics.

It is also a compilation of mathematical equations and text and hence serves as a data file for mathematical biology and biological modelling
