Abstract

A statistical thermodynamical approach has been introduced to calculate shear viscosity and thermal flux for interactions among the gene-regulating biomolecular protein particles that operate in moderate density rigid-sphere fluids. Starting from the modified Boltzmann equation with the help of linear perturbation theory, the coefficients of distribution function were determined. On the basis of transport theory, we introduced computational forms of diffusion constant, mass flux, shear viscosity, and thermal flux. We examined the influences of changes in mass, diameter, and magnitude of the pair correlation function. The present method will be available to evaluate the local physical reaction properties of the gene-regulating particles.
