Self-organization in living cells: networks of protein machines and nonequilibrium soft matter.
Microscopic self-organization phenomena inside a living cell should not represent merely a reduced copy of self-organization in macroscopic systems. A cell is populated by active protein machines that communicate via small molecules diffusing through the cytoplasm. Mutual synchronization of machine cycles can spontaneously develop in such networks - an effect which is similar to coherent laser ...
متن کاملElastic molecular machines in metabolism and soft-tissue restoration.
Elastic protein-based machines (bioelastic materials) can be designed to perform diverse biological energy conversions. Coupled with the remarkable energy-conversion capacity of cells, this makes possible a tissue-restoration approach to tissue engineering. When properly attached to the extracellular matrix, cells sense the forces to which they are subjected and respond by producing an extracel...
متن کاملVisualizing genetic loci and molecular machines in living bacteria.
An ongoing mission for biologists is to probe the molecular nature of cellular processes within live cells. Although much of what we have discovered during the molecular biology revolution of the last 50 years has been achieved by exploiting bacteria as 'bags of DNA and proteins', relatively little has been learnt about how they organize their life processes within cells. The mistaken perceptio...
متن کاملKinesin motors as molecular machines.
Molecular motor proteins, fueled by energy from ATP hydrolysis, move along actin filaments or microtubules, performing work in the cell. The kinesin microtubule motors transport vesicles or organelles, assemble bipolar spindles or depolymerize microtubules, functioning in basic cellular processes. The mechanism by which motor proteins convert energy from ATP hydrolysis into work is likely to di...
متن کاملMuscles as molecular and metabolic machines.
SKELETAL MUSCLE IS THE LARGEST ORGAN in humans, comprising 50% of the total body mass. While this tissue functions to sustain normal daily physical activity, skeletal muscle is also involved in regulating metabolic homeostasis. For example, early studies in skeletal muscle revealed that glucose transport was stimulated not just by insulin but also by muscle contraction/exercise in an insulin-in...
