title: Molecular and thermodynamic bioenergetics.
abstract: Studies of biological sciences can be approached in two ways: reductively, as in molecular biology, or holistically, as in systems biology. In this paper, I illustrate my views on approaches to bioenergetics through the analysis of molecular energy transduction and of general thermodynamics relationships in systems biology. The future lies with the second as the first is nearing completion.
