Dynamical principles in biological processes.
The purpose of this paper is to propose certain dynamical principles in biological systems, which can be used to explain the effectiveness of charge transfer or excitation transfer in biological systems. Some of these systems are accessible experimentally.
متن کاملDynamical principles in biological processes: a model of charge migration in proteins and DNA.
The generalized master equations (GMEs) that contain multiple time scales have been derived quantum mechanically. The GME method has then been applied to a model of charge migration in proteins that invokes the hole hopping between local amino acid sites driven by the torsional motions of the floppy backbones. This model is then applied to analyze the experimental results for sequence-dependent...
متن کاملPrinciples of dynamical modularity in biological regulatory networks
Intractable diseases such as cancer are associated with breakdown in multiple individual functions, which conspire to create unhealthy phenotype-combinations. An important challenge is to decipher how these functions are coordinated in health and disease. We approach this by drawing on dynamical systems theory. We posit that distinct phenotype-combinations are generated by interactions among ro...
متن کاملThe Olivo-Cerebellar System: Dynamical Processes and Computational Principles
The cerebellar cortex contains the majority of the neurons in the central nervous system, which are well organized in a lattice-like structure. Despite this apparent simplicity, the function of the olivo-cerebellar system is still largely unknown. In this thesis I have tried to contribute to the understanding of the system by studying three aspects of the dynamics of neurons and their relation ...
متن کاملDiscrimination of dynamical system models for biological and chemical processes
In technical chemistry, systems biology and biotechnology, the construction of predictive models has become an essential step in process design and product optimization. Accurate modelling of the reactions requires detailed knowledge about the processes involved. However, when concerned with the development of new products and production techniques for example, this knowledge often is not avail...
