In thermodynamics, biochemical thermodynamics is the study of the thermodynamics of biochemical processes. [1] This subject of study is relatively new and in development. A notable thermodynamicist in this field is Englishman Keith Burton, the first to build thermodynamic tables of biochemical species.

Naming issues
The term "biochemical thermodynamics" seems to concern itself with the applications of thermodnamics in biochemistry. In other instances, it may be found synonymous with bioenergetics, biothermodynamics, and biological thermodynamics, among others. A distinction to be made here is the the contract between the thermodynamics internal to biological entities, e.g. inside a cell, and the thermodynamics of systems of biological organisms, e.g. a community of animals. The latter division is considered cutting-edge.
