A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B. This is distinct from a reversible process in thermodynamics. Weak acids and bases undergo reversible reactions. For example, carbonic acid: H 2 CO 3 (l) + H 2 O (l) ⇌ HCO 3 − (aq) + H 3 O + (aq).
File:Biochem reaction arrow Y XXXX Z med.svg. Y is a word indicating the chemical direction of the arrow, either "forward", "reverse", or "reversible". XXXX is a list of four characters indicating whether each side has an arrow or not. Each X is replaced with "Y" or "N" to indicate the presence or absence of a side arrow.
In physical chemistry, the Arrhenius equation is a formula for the temperature dependence of reaction rates.The equation was proposed by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, based on the work of Dutch chemist Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff who had noted in 1884 that the van 't Hoff equation for the temperature dependence of equilibrium constants suggests such a formula for the rates of both forward and ...
If a mixture is not at equilibrium, the liberation of the excess Gibbs energy (or Helmholtz energy at constant volume reactions) is the "driving force" for the composition of the mixture to change until equilibrium is reached. The equilibrium constant can be related to the standard Gibbs free energy change for the reaction by the equation
Reversible Michaelis–Menten kinetics, using the reversible form of the Michaelis–Menten equation, is therefore important when developing computer models of cellular processes involving enzymes. In enzyme kinetics, the Michaelis–Menten kinetics kinetic rate law that describes the conversion of one substrate to one product, is often ...
A Markov process is called a reversible Markov process or reversible Markov chain if there exists a positive stationary distribution π that satisfies the detailed balance equations [13] =, where P ij is the Markov transition probability from state i to state j, i.e. P ij = P(X t = j | X t − 1 = i), and π i and π j are the equilibrium probabilities of being in states i and j, respectively ...
where k f is the rate constant for the forward reaction and k b is the rate constant for the backward reaction and the square brackets, […], denote concentration. If only A is present at the beginning, time t = 0 , with a concentration [A] 0 , the sum of the two concentrations, [A] t and [B] t , at time t , will be equal to [A] 0 .
It is associated with the binding and unbinding reaction of receptor (R) and ligand (L) molecules, which is formalized as: R + L ⇌ RL. The reaction is characterized by the on-rate constant k on and the off-rate constant k off, which have units of M −1 s −1 and s −1, respectively. In equilibrium, the forward binding transition R + L → ...
