Sorry

Warburg Effect on wikipedia if anyone is curious.

A cousin of the Warburg effect?

It was part of the book, Arrival of the Fittest. The author somehow quantified the scale of the space of all possible chemical reactions and it was just so huge that the chance of the citric acid cycle emerging was just infinitesimal, like 1 in 10^100 or something. Like winning the lottery 10 times in a row type of thing. Found it an intriguing idea. Would be curious to see the counter argument, though it's likely to be beyond me mathematically.

Just off the bat I can’t help but think the citric acid cycle is probably more famous?

(Just checked google, and it has 55,000,000 results for the former, and only 3,000,000 for „Carnot cycle)

I'm curious about the mechanism. It seems important, but can you elaborate on the effects?

If I remember it overloads the uptake of the methanol or something along those lines. Crazy stuff.

None. Both the oxidation and reduction are quantitative.

Looks like the paradoxical effect Wikipedia page is more ambiguous about this than I had thought. the data there is pretty sparse there either way

Redox too

>For every increase of 10C chemical reactions happen twice as fast

Except for the ones that go at different rates.

Can you please cite the text that states this? I'd like to know the mechanism involved.

mauvehaus | karma 5894 | avg karma 4.66 · | 2023-04-27 07:43:31

As for me, I'm not clear at all what this has to do with redox reactions and stoichiometry? Oxidation Is Loss - Reduction Is Gain.

There is no first order taylor series expansion of the krebs cycle -- indeed not.

As soon as you have three of anythign physics, as applied math, breaks down

More likely to see something like Redox take off.

> That reaction requires energy

Yes. In this case, it's called 'sunlight'.

Redox?

Redox?

Heating and ionization are not the only ways in which chemical reactions can be influenced. See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4340277/ for an overview (contains both positive and negative results).

In the context of biochemistry, that's not really such a small change. It vastly modifies the reactivity of that site

Please don't post unsubstantive comments here. This reaction has been predictable to the point of mechanism for many years.
