Kinetic vs. energetic discrimination in biological copying
We study stochastic copying schemes in which discrimination between a right and a wrong match is achieved via different kinetic barriers or different binding energies of the two matches. We demonstrate that, in single-step reactions, the two discrimination mechanisms are strictly alternative and can not be mixed to further reduce the error fraction. Close to the lowest error limit, kinetic disc...
متن کاملPublic Versus Personal Information for Mate Copying in an Invertebrate
Organisms require information to make decisions about fitness-affecting resources, such as mates. Animals may extract "personal information" about potential mates by observing their physical characteristics or extract additional "public information" by observing their mating performance [1]. Mate copying by females [2-6] is a form of public information use that may reduce uncertainty about male...
متن کاملKinetic discrimination in T-cell activation.
We propose a quantitative model for T-cell activation in which the rate of dissociation of ligand from T-cell receptors determines the agonist and antagonist properties of the ligand. The ligands are molecular complexes between antigenic peptides and proteins of the major histocompatibility complex on the surfaces of antigen-presenting cells. Binding of ligand to receptor triggers a series of b...
متن کاملRibosomal elongation cycle: energetic, kinetic and stereochemical aspects.
As a preface to an analysis of the ribosomal elongation cycle, we examine the energetics of macromolecular structural transformations. We show that the kinetic barriers and changes of the energetic levels during these transformations are essentially determined by disruption of hydrogen and cation-ligand bonds, and by uncompensated losses of these bonds (ULBs). The disruption of a hydrogen or ca...
متن کاملThermal Degradation Kinetic Study of a Fuel-rich Energetic Mixture Containing Epoxy Binder
In this work, thermal degradation behavior of a fuel-rich energetic mixture containing epoxy binder was studied by thrmogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry under dynamic nitrogen atmosphere at different heating rates. Variation of the thermal degradation activation energy of the mixture was evaluated by differential and integral isoconversional methods via ...
