Thermodynamical Method in Biology

Abstract

If we take account of the world consisted of living materials and their surroundings, the Gibbs' free energy of the world must undoubtedly be decreased. Therefore there must be no fear of the inapplicability of thermodynamical principle. There is, however, some necessity of considering the part of the world to the thermodynamical study of life and then we must stand for the confusing nature of the world which comes from the thermodynamical interaction of very lowg rawge.3 (The interaction is presented by p-field of 111). On the other hand, such an interaction is the most interesting feature which is called cooperative and considered as the key to solve the mystery of life. For instance, if there is a droplet of water suspending in its supersaturated vapour, then the whole system can no longer stay in its metastable equili-
