Quantitative modeling and simulation of biochemical processes in the human body [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We present a whole-body model of human metabolism that utilizes a system of organs and blood vessels to simulate the enzymatic reactions. The model focuses on key organs, including the brain, heart and lungs, liver, gut, and kidney, as well as muscle and adipose tissue.

Temporal Coordination of Carbohydrate Metabolism during Mosquito Reproduction
PLoS Genetics, 2015 Hematophagous mosquitoes serve as vectors of multiple devastating human diseases, and many unique physiological features contribute to the incredible evolutionary success of these insects. These functions place high-energy demands on a reproducing female

Kinetics and thermodynamics of reversible polymerization in closed systems [PDF]
New J. Phys. 17, 085008 (2015), 2015 Motivated by a recent work on the metabolism of carbohydrates in bacteria, we study the kinetics and thermodynamics of two classic models for reversible polymerization, one preserving the total polymer concentration and the other one not. The chemical kinetics is described by rate equations following the mass-action law. We consider a closed system and

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

Characterization of botryococcus sp. and identification of carbohydrates metabolic related enzymes toward lipid production [PDF]
, 2019 The advancement of microalgal biofuels is faced with challenges among which is low strain performance in lipid production. Alternatively, the carbohydrate production in microalgal cells could be manipulated to increase the lipid content thereby ...

Rapid and sensitive quantification of C3- and C6-phosphoesters in starch by fluorescence-assisted capillary electrophoresis [PDF]
Carbohydrate Polymers, Elsevier, 2016, 152, pp.784-791, 2019 Phosphate groups are naturally present in starch at C3- or C6-position of the glucose residues and impact the structure of starch granules. Their precise quantification is necessary for understanding starch physicochemical properties and metabolism. Nevertheless, reliable quantification of Glc-3-P remains laborious and time consuming.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...
