, 2014 Biochemical pathways emerge from a series of Brownian collisions between various types of biological macromolecules within separate cellular compartments and in highly viscous cytosol. Functioning of biochemical networks suggests that such serendipitous collisions, as a whole, result into a perfect synchronous order.

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

Quantum chemistry reveals thermodynamic principles of redox biochemistry.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2018 Thermodynamics dictates the structure and function of metabolism. Redox reactions drive cellular energy and material flow. Hence, accurately quantifying the thermodynamics of redox reactions should reveal design principles that shape cellular metabolism.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Effect of terahertz irradiation on DNA damage repair in living cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We investigated the effect of terahertz (THz) wave irradiation on DNA double‐strand break (DSB) repair in living cells. We found that THz irradiation enhanced DSB repair at specific frequencies, whereas heat treatment inhibited it, indicating that this effect is nonthermal and frequency‐specific.

Mesoscopic kinetic theory for fluid dynamic phenomena and biochemical reaction processes.
Journal of Advanced Science, 2000 A mesoscopic kinetic theory is proposed, which describes synthetically the atomizations of flexible liquid droplets, the biological cell divisions, and the unlacing processes of biological molecules such as DNA and RNA surrounded with water molecules, that is, the chemical reaction processes related to the hydrogen bonds.

Optimizing photoexcitation conditions for time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering experiments
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering (TR‐XSS) is a powerful technique to visualize how proteins change their structure in real time after light activation. Selecting the right laser photoexcitation conditions—fluence, excitation geometry, and sample refresh rate—is critical to maximize the experimental signal while avoiding unwanted side effects ...
