Thermodynamics
OverviewA 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.

This is research programme towards the production of a collection of Chapters for a book on thermodynamics, kinetics and systems biology that is being written by Hans V. Westerhoff. This book will be a successor to 'Thermodynamics and control of biological free-energy transduction, Elsevier, Amsterdam (1987) by Westerhoff, H.V. & Van Dam, K.

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, ...

In this short book written by Hans V. Westerhoff, it is argued that scientific rationality as further developed in systems biology should be used to tackle the complex problems of society. This is promoted as one way to battle the disinformation strategies followed by a great many political leaders with the aim of staying in power through populism.
