| Abstract | Subcellular systems represented by macromolecules (enzymes, ion channels etc.) function far from equilibrium. We propose a characterization of such systems in terms of their distance from equilibrium (DFE). Standard chemical and physical approaches are not always applicable because they need too detailed kinetic and thermodynamic information. We suggest a general measure for DFE in systems described by fluxes. Each connection between subsystems corresponds to two unidirectional fluxes, f and b. These fluxes form forward and backward vectors, ? and ?, respectively. The forward direction is defined by a net flux, so that 0≤b≤f. The flux vec-tors ℜ={?, ?} and ?={?, –?} are introduced. DFE is defined as P=(ℜ?/??)2=cos2 α, α being the angle between the ℜ- and ?-vectors, with 0≤α≤π/2. The distance from strict irreversibility, E, is defined symmetrically: E=cos2(π/2–α)=1–P. For a single-stage reaction, parameter P is strictly equivalent to the chemical affinity. For multi-stage reactions P reflects DFE better than chemical affinity. Near equilibrium P is equivalent to excess Gibbs energy. Away from equilibrium, P scales DFE better. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
