متن کاملTemporally Asymmetric Fluctuations Are Suucient for the Biological Energy Transduction
A number of recent attempts to understand broad principles of energy transduction in biological systems have focused on correlation ratchets|systems which extract work out of uctuations which are correlated in time..1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Correlation ratchets are \information engines" analogous to Maxwell's Demon, which extract work out of a bath by using information about the system to \choose" onl...
متن کاملRole of water in the energy of hydrolysis of phosphate compounds--energy transduction in biological membranes.
Different forms of energy are interconverted in biological systems. For this purpose, the cell uses phosphate compounds as the common currency of energy exchange [1]. The hydrolysis of these compounds is catalyzed by enzymes that are capable of energy transduction. These enzymes use the chemical energy derived from the cleavage of phosphate compounds such as ATP, acetyl phosphate and pyrophosph...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of energy transduction in cells: engineering applications and biological implications.
The synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate by F1F0-ATP synthase, the universal enzyme in biological energy conversion, using the energy of a transmembrane gradient of ions, and the use of ATP by the myosin-actin system to cause muscular contraction are among the most fundamental processes in biology. Both the ATP synthase and the myosin-actin may be looked upon as molecular machines....
متن کاملEnergy flow in biological system: Bioenergy transduction of V1-ATPase molecular rotary motor from E. hirae
We classify research fields in biology into those on flows of materials, energy, and information. As a representative energy transducing machinery in biology, our research target, V1-ATPase from a bacterium Enterococcus hirae, a typical molecular rotary motor is introduced. Structures of several intermediates of the rotary motor are described and the molecular mechanism of the motor converting ...
