A model of anomalous enzyme-catalyzed gel degradation kinetics.
We show that a model of target location involving n noninteracting particles moving subdiffusively along a line segment (a generalization of a model introduced by Sokolov et al. [Biophys. J. 2005, 89, 895.]) provides a basis for understanding recent experiments by Pelta et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 2007, 98, 228302.] on the kinetics of diffusion-limited gel degradation. These experiments find that ...
متن کاملOn a possible mechanism of anomalous diffusion by Rossby waves
We study the advection of passive tracers by traveling plane Rossby waves of finite amplitude. In distinction with previous studies the nonlinearity of the wave field is taken into account in the first order of perturbation theory by considering the Lagrangian transport by resonant wave triads. Using the waves’ phases as new dynamical variables we reduce the problem to the study of a specific o...
متن کاملOn a possible mechanism of anomalous diffusion in geophysical turbulence
The main characteristic features of the geophysical turbulence are differential (so called ,8-effect) rotation and stratification. Each of these phenomena is responsible for a specific type of waves: planetary or Rossby waves and internal gravity waves, respectively. It is well-known that e.g. for the ,8plane turbulence [1] one may have vortex-dominated (Le. close to the 2d turbulence), wave-do...
متن کاملAn Enzyme-Catalyzed Multistep DNA Refolding Mechanism in Hairpin Telomere Formation
Hairpin telomeres of bacterial linear chromosomes are generated by a DNA cutting-rejoining enzyme protelomerase. Protelomerase resolves a concatenated dimer of chromosomes as the last step of chromosome replication, converting a palindromic DNA sequence at the junctions between chromosomes into covalently closed hairpins. The mechanism by which protelomerase transforms a duplex DNA substrate in...
متن کاملPlasmin-catalyzed proteolysis in colorectal neoplasia.
The expression of different components of the plasminogen activator (PA)/plasmin system was explored in a series of colorectal neoplasia. We have found that urokinase (uPA) and urokinase receptor (uPA-R) gene expression is upregulated in adenomas and carcinomas, and that uPA/uPA-R production is confined to stromal cells in the proximity of epithelial proliferations. In addition, in adenomas, th...
