Rate constants rather than biochemical mechanism determine behaviour of genetic clocks.
Many biological systems contain both positive and negative feedbacks. These are often classified as resonators or integrators. Resonators respond preferentially to oscillating signals of a particular frequency. Integrators, on the other hand, accumulate a response to signals. Computational neuroscientists often refer to neurons showing integrator properties as type I neurons and those showing r...
متن کاملRate constants for cyclizations of α-hydroxy radical clocks.
The 1-hydroxy-1-methyl-6,6-diphenyl-5-hexenyl radical (4a) and the 1-hydroxy-1-methyl-7,7-diphenyl-6-heptenyl radical (4b) were prepared from the corresponding PTOC esters (anhydrides of a carboxylic acid and N-hydroxypyridine-2-thione). The key step in the synthetic method for the precursors was a coupling reaction of the respective carboxylic acids with the thiohydroxamic acid, which was cond...
متن کاملStochastic simulation of biochemical systems with randomly fluctuating rate constants
In an experimental study of single enzyme reactions, it has been proposed that the rate constants of the enzymatic reactions fluctuate randomly, according to a given distribution. To quantify the uncertainty arising from random rate constants, it is necessary to investigate how one can simulate such a biochemical system. To do this, we will take the Gillespie’s stochastic simulation algorithm f...
متن کاملDeprenyl Can Mediate Neuronal Protection Rather than Neuronal Rescue
Background and Objective: Deprenyl is a drug for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, where the dopaminergic neurons are the target of this drug. Several reports also documented that deprenyl has an effect on the sensory and motor neurons. There are some reports about the mode of action of deprenyl on m...
متن کاملEndogenous rhythmic growth in oak trees is regulated by internal clocks rather than resource availability
Common oak trees display endogenous rhythmic growth with alternating shoot and root flushes. To explore the mechanisms involved, microcuttings of the Quercus robur L. clone DF159 were used for (13)C/(15)N labelling in combination with RNA sequencing (RNASeq) transcript profiling of shoots and roots. The effect of plant internal resource availability on the rhythmic growth of the cuttings was te...
