Re: [Fis] Molecular recognition and the foundamental laws of information

Dear Jerry,

The expression delta F (free energy) = - R * T ln K (eq) in my revised information
theory is a change of information. Information is dimensionless.
delta I (Information) = - ln K. Therefore, some temperature independent
process, which cannot be considered by delta F (free energy), can be
considered.

The equilibrium constant is the the symmetry number of the product over the
symmetry numberof the starting molecules.
