Further theoretical refinement on the internal thermodynamics of perfect enzymes [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1987 By solving simultaneously the equation for ‘uniform binding’ [Albery & Knowles (1976) Biochemistry 15, 5631-5640] and the equation for ‘differential binding’ [Chin (1983) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 105, 6502-6503], I derived the following simple equation for perfect enzymes (with single substrate and single product) under irreversible conditions: K2 = beta ...

Non-Perfect-Fluid Space-Times in Thermodynamic Equilibrium and Generalized Friedmann Equations [PDF]
Journal of Gravity, 2016 We determine the energy-momentum tensor of nonperfect fluids in thermodynamic equilibrium and, respectively, near to it. To this end, we derive the constitutive equations for energy density and isotropic and anisotropic pressure as well as for heat-flux from the corresponding propagation equations and by drawing on Einstein’s equations.
