The Relevance of Cavity Creation for Several Phenomena Occurring in Water

Liquids, 2023
The solvent-excluded volume effect is an under-appreciated general phenomenon occurring in liquids and playing a fundamental role in many cases. It is quantified and characterized by means of the theoretical concept of cavity creation and its Gibbs free ...

Cellular reduction and pulp fibrosis can be related not only to aging process but also to a physiologic static compression

Dental Hypotheses, 2017
Introduction: As the available space inside the tooth becomes smaller because of the continuous formation of secondary dentin, the pulp may suffer from a physiologic static compression.

Negative autoregulation controls size scaling in confined gene expression reactions

Scientific Reports, 2022
Gene expression via transcription-translation is the most fundamental reaction to sustain biological systems, and complex reactions occur in a small compartment of living cells.

The Effect of Molecular Crowding on the Stability of Human c-MYC Promoter Sequence I-Motif at Neutral pH

Molecules, 2013
We have previously shown that c-MYC promoter sequences can form stable i-motifs in acidic solution (pH 4.5–5.5). In terms of drug targeting, the question is whether c-MYC promoter sequence i-motifs will exist in the nucleus at neutral pH.

Macromolecular crowding effects on the kinetics of opposing reactions catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
In order to better understand how the complex, densely packed, heterogeneous milieu of a cell influences enzyme kinetics, we exposed opposing reactions catalyzed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (YADH) to both synthetic and protein crowders ranging from 10

Mimicking the in vivo Environment – The Effect of Crowding on RNA and Biomacromolecular Folding and Activity

CHIMIA, 2015
In vitro studies on macromolecules, like proteins and nucleic acids, are mostly carried out in highly diluted systems where the molecules are studied under artificial conditions.

Excluded Volume Effect in General Distributions

IEEE Access
In queuing systems, the dynamics of the excluded volume effect, which describes the movement of objects with a physical volume, are generally not considered.

Excluded Volume Effect in GI/G/s Queues

IEEE Access
This study developed an approximation framework for GI/G/s queues with excluded volumes. Building on a discrete-time GI/G/1 framework that embeds the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) via matrix-geometric and aggregation methods, we ...
