The regulation of ethylene biosynthesis: a complex multilevel control circuitry
New Phytologist, 2020 Summary The gaseous plant hormone ethylene is produced by a fairly simple two‐step biosynthesis route. Despite this pathway’s simplicity, recent molecular and genetic studies have revealed that the regulation of ethylene biosynthesis is far more complex ...

Anomalous thermal fluctuation distribution sustains proto-metabolic cycles and biomolecule synthesis [PDF]
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics 2019, 2019 An environment far from equilibrium is thought to be a necessary condition for the origin and persistence of life. In this context we report open-flow simulations of a non-enzymic proto-metabolic system, in which hydrogen peroxide acts both as oxidant and driver of thermochemical cycling. We find that a Gaussian perturbed input produces a non-Boltzmann
