Entropy Production and Its Application to the Coupled Nonequilibrium Processes of ATP Synthesis

Entropy Production and Its Application to the Coupled Nonequilibrium Processes of ATP Synthesis

Starting from the universal concept of entropy production, a large number of new results are obtained and a wealth of novel thermodynamic, kinetic, and molecular mechanistic insights are provided into the coupling of oxidation and ATP synthesis in the vital process of oxidative phosphorylation (OX P...
