To wit, the so-called "high energy phosphate bond" does not contain high energy. Podolsky and Morales's conclusion was based on the more precise measurement of the heat of hydrolysis of ATP and a (judicious) correction for the heat of neutralization of the acid liberated during the hydrolysis (Table 3). Thermodynamic analyses led George and Rutman to a similar conclusion: that there is no high energy in the so-called high-energy phosphate bond.
Would be interesting if you start a blog to explain your readings and making it simpler to other people that find it very difficult .You can also get Szent-Gyorgyi's Bioenergetics online for free in a PDF format by visiting scribd.com.
I am halfway through, and it is okay. I think Gilbert Ling does a way better job in explaining ATP and muscle, and I would simply skip those chapters in Bioenergetics and read Gilbert Ling's presentations instead.
For example, Szent-Gyorgyi talks about the "high energy phosphate bond". This is rather absurd, as Gilbert Ling will explain:
A misnomer.
But Szent-Gyorgyi has good things to say about photochemistry and phosphorescence. Bioenergetics is a good primer on the topic, but I don't think that his articles on muscle contraction are worth reading in light of Gilbert Ling's work.
He used a weird unit in his book: the millimicron: mμ.
This is of course equivalent to the nanometer, and most people just use nanometer, or nm.
But I kind of like to millimicron. I think that I will start using it.
And the book is short and easy to read.
