Volume 1 of this Series is intended to give the reader a fundamental understanding of the key areas deemed essential to the study of bioelec- trochemistry. A thorough grasp of the theory and methodology of these basic topics is vital to cope successfully with the complex phenomena that currently face investigators in most bioelectrochemical laboratories. Chapter 1 outlines the nonequilibrium thermodynamics and kinetics of the processes involved, stressing the connection between the two ap- proaches. Particular emphasis is placed on the enzymes catalyzing cytosolic reactions and membrane...
