Journal ArticleDOI
The Real Reason Why Oil and Water Don't Mix
TL;DR: In fact, in most cases the mixing process is exothermic, so the immiscibility of the two liquids must be explained by a loss of entropy in the system as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chloroplast thylakoid protein phosphatase reactions are redox‐independent and kinetically heterogeneous
TL;DR: The results are consistent with at least two kinetically distinguishable classes of phosphoprotein phosphatase reactions, and it is concluded that thylakoid protein phosphatases reactions are kinetically heterogeneous and redox‐independent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marcus Theory: Thermodynamics CAN Control the Kinetics of Electron Transfer Reactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the background and applications of the Marcus theory for biological redox reactions, with a special emphasis given to biological redoxide reactions, and discuss the nonlinear contribution of reorganization energy (λ) to the activation free energy (ΔG⧧).
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox titration of multiple protein phosphorylations in pea chloroplast thylakoids
TL;DR: The ‘reverse’ redox dependence of phosphorylation of the 63 kDa and 46 kDa bands suggests that more than one redox-controlled protein kinase (or phosphatase) functions in the thylakoid membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
pKa Values in the Undergraduate Curriculum: What Is the Real pKa of Water?
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the pKa of water must be 15.74 rather than 14.00, and that using the pure liquid standard state (mole fraction = 1) that is quite different from the standard state for acidities determined in dilute solution (molality = 1).
