报告摘要
In contrast to featureless point masses in Mechanics, a macromolecule in biochemistry has a large number of internal degrees of freedom in terms of atoms. The behavior of even a single protein in an aqueous environment is often so complex that the mathematical representation of biochemical kinetics has to be statistical. In this talk, I present a stochastic formulation of general chemical reaction systems, with N species and M stochastic elementary reactions in solution and show how J. W. Gibbs’ macroscopic equilibrium chemical thermodynamics can be derived as a mathematical result, with an entropic force as its center piece. Our theory is actually applicable to living systems such as a single cell. I then discuss very recent work on thermodynamics of small systems: We show there is a duality symmetry emergence and breaking in the thermodynamic behavior.
主讲人介绍
Professor Hong Qian is Olga Jung Wan Endowed Professor of Applied Mathematics at University of Washington, Seattle. He received his B.A. in Astrophysics from Peking University and Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Washington University in St. Louis, and worked as postdoctoral researcher at University of Oregon and Caltech on biophysical chemistry and mathematical biology. He was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2010. Professor Qian's main research interest is the mathematical approach to and physical understanding of biological systems, especially in terms of stochastic mathematics and nonequilibrium statistical physics.
