Metabolic thermodynamics: pertinent reference state and energy potentials

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
A recommendation and method to view the energy potentials of metabolites with reference to (green arrow) a biochemical precursor state (in green: water, Mg2+, phosphate, bicarbonate, ammonium, and sulfate, at pH = 7) rather than (the red arrow) the physical–chemical reference state (in grayish red) that is alien to biology, that is, O2, H2, N2 at 1 ...

N‐mixture models revealed the optimal sampling method, intensity and habitat for
