The reduction level of any chemical compounds is measured by special units--redoxones. In organic compounds the energetic value of redoxon is almost constant. Application of this concept makes it possible to simplify considerably the energetic calculations in biochemistry and to develop a common approach considering metabolism as the transfer of redoxons along the reactions network from the initial source of the redoxons to the biomass substance. Equations are presented for material-energetic balance of heterotrophic and autotrophic metabolism for the energetic yield of cell growth.
任何化合物的还原水平都由特殊单位——氧化还原子来衡量。在有机化合物中，氧化还原子的能量值几乎是恒定的。这一概念的应用使得生物化学中的能量计算能够大幅简化，并形成一种通用方法，即将新陈代谢视为氧化还原子沿着反应网络从氧化还原子的初始来源转移到生物质物质的过程。文中给出了关于异养和自养代谢的物质能量平衡以及细胞生长能量产率的方程式。
