Predicting perfect adaptation motifs in reaction kinetic networks.
Adaptation and compensation mechanisms are important to keep organisms fit in a changing environment. "Perfect adaptation" describes an organism's response to an external stepwise perturbation by resetting some of its variables precisely to their original preperturbation values. Examples of perfect adaptation are found in bacterial chemotaxis, photoreceptor responses, or MAP kinase activities. ...
متن کاملGeneral formulations for predicting longevity of submerged superhydrophobic surfaces composed of pores or posts.
Superhydrophobicity can arise from the ability of a submerged rough hydrophobic surface to trap air in its surface pores, and thereby reduce the contact area between the water and the frictional solid walls. A submerged surface can only remain superhydrophobic (SHP) as long as it retains the air in its pores. SHP surfaces have a short underwater life, and their longevity depends strongly on the...
متن کاملGlutamate receptor pores.
Glutamate receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission throughout the central nervous system. Functional receptors are homo- or heteromeric tetramers with each subunit contributing a re-entrant pore loop that dips into the membrane from the cytoplasmic side. The pore loops form a narrow constriction near their apex with a wide vestibule toward the c...
متن کاملOpening closed pores
JCB • VOLUME 167 • NUMBER 6 • 2004 994 Opening closed pores closed mitosis may be less closed than was thought, based on results from Colin De Souza, Stephen Osmani, and colleagues (The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH). The authors find that a fungus opens nuclear pores during mitosis to permit diffusion into and out of the nucleus. Simple organisms may thus be viable model systems for the ...
