using gaussian 03, software the thermodynamic functions such as gibbs free energy, g, enthalpy, h, and entropy, s, of alanine and valine amino acids were theoretically studied at different solvents. first, the density functional theory (b3lyp) level with 3-21g, 6-31g and 6-31+g basis sets were employed to optimization of isolated alanine and valine amino acids in the gas phase. moreover, vib...

The notion of tree entropy was introduced by the author as a normalized limit of the number of spanning trees in finite graphs, but is defined on random infinite rooted graphs. We give some new expressions for tree entropy; one uses Fuglede–Kadison determinants, while another uses effective resistance. We use the latter to prove that tree entropy respects stochastic domination. We also prove th...

Reaction microcalorimetry and potentiometry have been used to define the thermodynamics of assembly of Escherichia coli aspartate transcarbamoylase (aspartate carbamoyltransferase, carbamoylphosphate:L-aspartate carbamoyltransferase, EC 2.1.3.2) from its catalytic and regulatory subunits and the linkage between assembly and proton binding. Over the pH range 7-9.5 and the temperature range 15-30...

the mechanical aspect of entropy-exergy relationship, together with the thermal aspect usually consid-ered, leads to an extended formulation of physical exergy based on both maximum useful work and maximum useful heat that are the outcome of available energy of a thermodynamic system. this approach suggests that a mechanical entropy can be studied, in addition to the already used thermal entrop...

Entropy of distribution P can be defined in at least three different ways: 1) as the expectation of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence of P from elementary δ -measures (in this case, it is interpreted as expected surprise); 2) as a negative KL-divergence of some reference measure ν from the probability measure P; 3) as the supremum of Shannon’s mutual information taken over all channels such ...

The binding of Sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) to histone H3 was studied in the pH range 3.2-10 by equilibrium dialysis at 27? and 3 7 ?c .T he binding data have been used to obtain the Gibbs free energy of interaction using a theoretical model of the Wyman binding potential; and the enthalpy of interaction from the temperature dependence of theequilibriumconstantsfronr theVan't Hoff re1ati...

Hawking radiation is viewed as a tunnelling process. In this way the effect of selfgravitation gives rise to quantum corrections to the entropy of the (2+1) BTZ black hole. The entropy is proportional to the horizon area and the quantum corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula S = AH/4l P are found to be negative.
