Thermodynamic analysis of metabolic networks has recently generated increasing interest for its ability to add constraints on metabolic network operation, and to combine metabolic fluxes and metabolite measurements in a mechanistic manner. Concepts for the ...
Anew, to our knowledge, group contribution method based on the group contribution method of Mavrovouniotis is introduced for estimating the standard Gibbs free energy of formation (Delta(f)G'(degrees)) and reaction (Delta(r)G'(degrees)) in biochemical syst ...
Thermodynamic feasibility analysis (TFA) has been used as a toot capable of providing additional constraints to the mass balance-based methods of analysis of Metabolic networks (e.g., flux balance analysis). Several publications have recently appeared in w ...
Microorganisms provide a wealth of bio-degradative potential in the reduction and elimination of xenobiotic compounds in the environment. One useful metric to evaluate potential biodegradation pathways is thermodynamic feasibility. However, experimental da ...
The nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc is a gelatinous viscous hydrogel that has an essential role in the mechanics of the intervertebral disc joint. The viscoelastic properties of the nucleus pulposus significantly change in the course of time an ...
Let r : S x S -> R+ be the jump rates of an irreducible random walk on a finite set S, reversible with respect to some probability measure m. For alpha > 1, let g : N -> R+ be given by g(0) = 0, g(1) = 1, g(k) = (k/k - 1)(alpha), k >= 2. Consider a zero ra ...
Assume that a stochastic processes can be approximated, when some scale parameter gets large, by a fluid limit (also called mean field limit", or hydrodynamic limit"). A common practice, often called the ``fixed point approximation" consists in approxi ...
The success of nanoparticle-based devices will need reliable fabrication methods for well-defined, defect-free self-assembled structures of nanoparticles (NPs). NP self-assembly is a process governed by an interplay between many inter-particle interactions ...
In the prospect of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions contributing to the global warming the study of CO2 capturing processes is essential. The purpose of this project would be to study more in detail the chemical absorption with amines for CO2 separati ...
The reduction potentials of the title compounds 4 have been measured by cyclic voltammetry. The effect of the substituents has been evaluated by using a linear free energy relationship treatment, thus evidencing that the present ortho-substituents affect t ...
