We study radiation convective fluid flow with chemical reaction. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using perturbation technique. The effects of velocity, temperature and concentration are studied for different parameters such as Grashof number, chemical reaction number, Prandtl number, Mass Grashof number and Radiative parameter. It is observed that the velocity increases with in...

Reaction of DNA with K2PdCl4 at pH 2.0 followed by a piperidine workup produces specific cleavage at adenine (A) residues. Product analysis revealed the K2PdCl4 reaction involves selective depurination at adenine, affording an excision reaction analogous to the other chemical DNA sequencing reactions. Adenine residues methylated at the exocyclic amine (N6) react with lower efficiency than unmet...

Recent work on molecular programming has explored new possibilities for computational abstractions with biomolecules, including logic gates, neural networks, and linear systems. In the future such abstractions might enable nanoscale devices that can sense and control the world at a molecular scale. Just as in macroscale robotics, it is critical that such devices can learn about their environmen...

We propose to use semiclassical methods to treat laser control problems of chemical reaction dynamics. Our basic strategy is as follows: Laser-driven chemical reactions are considered to consist of two processes. One is the wavepacket propagation on an adiabatic potential energy surface (PES), and the other is the electronic transition between PES’s. Because the latter process is mathematically...

The study of chemical reaction networks (CRN's) is a very active field. Earlier well-known results (Feinberg 1987 Chem. Enc. Sci. 42 2229, Anderson et al 2010 Bull. Math. Biol. 72 1947) identify a topological quantity called deficiency, for any CRN, which, when exactly equal to zero, leads to a unique factorized steady-state for these networks. No results exist however for the steady states of ...

We present a technique for the automatic reduction of chemical reaction networks (CRNs). We study exact fluid lumpability, a partition of species satisfying the dynamical property that species in the same block have the same output at all times if initialized equally. Inspired by analogous approaches in traditional models of computation such as labelled transition systems, we characterize this ...

Just as complex electronic circuits are built from simple Boolean gates, diverse biological functions, including signal transduction, differentiation, and stress response, frequently use biochemical switches as a functional module. A relatively small number of such switches have been described in the literature, and these exhibit considerable diversity in chemical topology. We asked if biochemi...

In living cells, chemical reactions are connected by sharing their products and substrates, and form complex networks, e.g., metabolic pathways. Here we developed a theory to predict the sensitivity, i.e., the responses of concentrations and fluxes to perturbations of enzymes, from network structure alone. Nonzero response patterns turn out to exhibit two characteristic features, localization a...

For a wide class of chemical reaction networks, including all those governed by detailed balanced mass-action kinetics, we examine the robustness of equilibrium species concentrations against fluctuations in the overall reactant supply. In particular, we present lower bounds on the individual species-concentration sensitivities that derive from reaction network structure alone, independent of k...
