This small book is a simplified, abbreviated, and updated version
of the author's Free Energy Transduction in Biology, published in
1977 (Academic Press, New York). The present book is meant to be a
textbook for a class or for self-study. The first chapter gives a
self-contained and elementary discussion of the principles of free
energy transduction in biology. Section 5 includes new material on
the Onsager coefficients Lij (for systems near equilibrium) not
avail able in 1977. Some readers may wish to study the first
chapter only. The second chapteris a little more sophisticated, and
deals with the so-called diagram method for calculating
steady-state probabili ties and cycle fluxes. Although these
concepts are useful in the analysis of free energy transduction
systems, they have an intrinsic importance and interest. Section 8
summarizes quite recent new results not included in the 1977 book.
The third chapter is again a step more sophisticated. Some readers
may wish to omit it. Free energy levels of the states in a kinetic
diagram are introduced. This topic is primarily of conceptual inter
est for ordinary kinetic diagrams but it is essential in
understanding muscle contraction (and related systems) at the
molecular level. Contents Preface . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
