<p>The correlation between the Gibbs free energy change of reaction and the reduced mass was clarified. In the case of bond formation reactions, the computed Gibbs energy change of reaction increased in the positive direction as the reduced mass increased. In the case of dissociation equilibrium reactions, such as the dissociation of tetrahedral carbonyl addition compound, the computed Gibbs energy change of reaction also increased in the positive direction as the reducing mass increased, but the extent of the change was smaller than in the case of bond formation reactions. The results were in good agreement with those derived from the relationship between yield and reduced mass, indicating that was originated from the correlation between the Gibbs energy change and the reduced mass.</p>

A theoretical description of the effect of changed composition of mixed solvents on processes in solutions has been suggested on the basis of the proportionality between the Gibbs energy change of the process and that of the solvent due to the transition from pure components to the mixture. The additional Gibbs energy has been expressed by means of the so-called classical functions by Margules, van Laar-Wohl, and van Laar-Null. The application to 115 various processes (pK, IR, UV-VIS, NMR, log k, and others) has confirmed that the theoretical presumptions are justified, the most suitable being Margules' 4th order model which shows a statistically significant difference from the models of lower orders.

Abstract The equation for the change of Gibbs energy in complex chemical systems is reformulated in terms of the newly conceived response reactions (RERs). The present formulation has the remarkable property of being unique: the composition of the species unequivocally determines the response reactions and via them the change of the Gibbs energy of the system. Furthermore, it enables one to reinterpret and rationalize some basic concepts of chemical thermodynamics, as coupling between reactions, sensitivity coefficients, etc.

Group contribution (GC) methods are conventionally used in thermodynamics analysis of metabolic pathways to estimate the standard Gibbs energy change (ΔrG′o) of enzymatic reactions from limited experimental measurements. However, these methods are limited by their dependence on manually curated groups and inability to capture stereochemical information, leading to low reaction coverage. Herein, we introduce an automated molecular fingerprint-based thermodynamic analysis tool called dGPredictor that enables the consideration of stereochemistry within metabolite structures and thus increases reaction coverage. dGPredictor has comparable prediction accuracy compared to existing GC methods and can capture Gibbs energy changes for isomerase and transferase reactions, which exhibit no overall group changes. We also demonstrate dGPredictor’s ability to predict the Gibbs energy change for novel reactions and seamless integration within de novo metabolic pathway design tools such as novoStoic for safeguarding against the inclusion of reaction steps with infeasible directionalities. To facilitate easy access to dGPredictor, we developed a graphical user interface to predict the standard Gibbs energy change for reactions at various pH and ionic strengths. The tool allows customized user input of known metabolites as KEGG IDs and novel metabolites as InChI strings (https://github.com/maranasgroup/dGPredictor).
