Free Energy Transduction and Biochemical

This three-part treatment translates the technical language of research monographs on the theory of free energy transfer in biology, making the subject more accessible to those entering the field. Designed for upper-level classes in biochemistry or biophysics, it can also be used for independent study. The first chapter presents a self-contained, elementary discussion of the principles involved; the second chapter is a little more advanced and examines the diagram method for calculating steady-state probabilities and cycle fluxes. The third chapter is increasingly sophisticated, introducing free energy levels of the state in a kinetic diagram. 1989 ed. 2 tables. 36 figures. Index.
