Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume of works of Prof. Gennady Efremovich Zaikov and his colleagues dedicates to 75th anniversary of his birth. The first volume had the title "Progress in chemistry and biochemistry. Kinetics, thermodynamics, synthesis, properties and applications". Reviews and original works are devoted to different aspects of polymerisation (kinetics and mechanism), to preparation of nanocomposites on the basis of clays, to studying of their properties and searches of ways of their applications, oxidising processes, the new equipments for industrial applications, investigation of protein reactions, creation of new type of reactions, bioantioxidants, UV irradiation of biological molecules (erythrocytes, particularly), NMR- and ESR-spectroscopy, non-equilibrium phase transitions, chemistry of plastics and rubbers, photochemical reactions, preparation and characterisation of catalysts, industrial installations, cement-based polymer composites, utilisation of waste, diffusion properties, biodegradable films. Part of the research also deals with degradation and stabilisation of polymers. It is very important to prolong the time of reliable exploitation of polymeric products, but sometimes it is important to accelerate degradation of polymer (especially after the end of its period of exploitation). The experts consider that full degradation of one plastic bag will finish in 400 years (though nobody has witness it) after the beginning of operation. Aging of polymers depends on their stabilisation.

Download or read book Progress in Reaction Kinetics written by G. Porter and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in Reaction Kinetics discusses the main themes of chemical kinetics. It covers such topics as the reactions of halogen atoms and methylenes, mercury photosensitized reactions, anionic polymerization, cis trans-isomerisation, and protolytic reactions. The book provides a good illustration of the quantitative rate studies in biochemical systems. The experiments to determine the relative rate constants are shown and analyzed. The process of photosensitization involves absorption of light energy by a strongly absorbing substance. The methods to identify the reactions of carbonyl compounds, organic acids and esters are presented as well as the reactions of alcohols, ethers, and epoxides. The degree of reaction of some haem compounds is explained. A chapter of the book focuses on the kinetic treatment of processes that takes place in a series of steps. Such procedures are called consecutive processes. A sample of these is the rate-determining step approximation. The book will provide useful information to chemists, chemical engineers, students, and researchers.

Download or read book Biophysical Thermodynamics of Intracellular Processes written by Lev A. Blumenfeld and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is aimed at a large audience: from students, who have a high school background in physics, mathematics, chemistry, and biology, to scien tists working in the fields of biophysics and biochemistry. The main aim of this book is to attempt to describe, in terms of physical chemistry and chemi cal physics, the peculiar features of "machines" having molecular dimen sions which play a crucial role in the most important biological processes, viz., energy transduction and enzyme catalysis. One of the purposes of this book is to analyze the physical background of the high efficiency of molecu lar machines functioning in the living cell. This book begins with a brief review of the subject (Chapter 1). Macro molecular energy-transducing complexes operate with thermal, chemical, and mechanical energy, therefore the appropriate framework to discuss the functioning of biopolymers comes from thermodynamics and chemical kinet ics. That is why we start our analysis with a consideration of the conventional approaches of thermodynamics and classical chemical kinetics, and their application to the description of bioenergetic processes (Chapter 2). Critical analysis of these approaches has led us to the conclusion that the conven tional approaches of physical chemistry to the description of the functioning of individual macromolecular devices, in many cases, appear to be incom plete. This prompted us to consider the general principles ofliving machinery from another point of view."

Download or read book The Thermodynamic Machinery of Life written by Michal Kurzynski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-07-09 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermodynamics was created in the ?rst half of the 19th century as a theory designed to explain the functioning of heat engines converting heat into mechanical work. In the course of time, while the scope of research in this ?eld was being extended to a wider and wider class of energy transformations, thermodynamics came to be considered as a general theory of machines identi?ed with energy transducers. Imp- tant progress in biochemistry in the ?rst half of the 20th century, and in molecular biology in the second half, made it possible to think of treating even living organisms as machines, at least on the subcellular level. However, success in applying thermodynamics to elucidate the phenomenon of life has been rather mitigated. Two reasons seem to be responsible for this unsatisfactory s- uation. Nineteenth century thermodynamics dealt only with simple (homogeneous) systems in complete equilibrium. Although during the 20th century a nonequilibrium thermodynamics was developed, sta- ing with the Onsager theory of linear response and ending with the Prigogine nonlinear theory of dissipative structures, these theories still concern the originally homogeneous systems. Because living organisms are complex systems with a historically frozen spatial and functional structure, a thermodynamics of both nonequilibrium and complex s- tems is needed for their description. The ?rst goal of the present book is to formulate the foundations of such a thermodynamics.

Download or read book Modern Thermodynamics for Chemists and Biochemists written by Dennis Sherwood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermodynamics is fundamental to university and college curricula in chemistry, physics, engineering and many life sciences around the world. It is also notoriously difficult for students to understand, learn and apply. What makes this book different, and special, is the clarity of the text. The writing style is fluid, natural and lucid, and everything is explained in a logical and transparent manner. Thermodynamics is a deep, and important, branch of science, and this book does not make it "easy". But it does make it intelligible. This book introduces a new, 'Fourth Law' of Thermodynamics' based on the notion of Gibbs free energy, which underpins almost every application of thermodynamics and which the authors claim is worthy of recognition as a 'law'. The last four chapters bring thermodynamics into the twenty-first century, dealing with bioenergetics (how living systems capture and use free energy), macromolecule assembly (how proteins fold), and macromolecular aggregation (how, for example, virus capsids assemble). This is of great current relevance to students of biochemistry, biochemical engineering and pharmacy, and is covered in very few other texts on thermodynamics. The book also contains many novel and effective examples, such as the explanation of why friction is irreversible, the proof of the depression of the freezing point, and the explanation of the biochemical standard state.
Download or read book Chemical Kinetics Stochastic Processes and Irreversible Thermodynamics written by Moisés Santillán and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-27 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings theories in nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes, irreversible thermodynamics, physical chemistry and biochemistry together in an introductory but formal and comprehensive manner. Coupled with examples, the theories are developed stepwise, starting with the simplest concepts and building upon them into a more general framework. Furthermore, each new mathematical derivation is immediately applied to one or more biological systems. The last chapters focus on applying mathematical and physical techniques to study systems such as: gene regulatory networks and molecular motors. The target audience of this book are mainly final year undergraduate and graduate students with a solid mathematical background (physicists, mathematicians and engineers), as well as with basic notions of biochemistry and cellular biology. This book can also be useful to students with a biological background who are interested in mathematical modeling and have a working knowledge of calculus, differential equations and a basic understanding of probability theory.
