Abstract

Starting from information theory ideas, the probability distribution of nucleotide molecules in a pool is derived, using the Kullback information measure. A statistical thermodynamic formalism leads to analogs of thermodynamic functions like entropy and Helmholtz free energy, and to equations describing their changes. If information transmission is a maximum, these analogs have certain interesting properties. The general case is investigated, when both the actual and the prior distributions change.
