Stochastic dynamics of macromolecular-assembly networks [PDF]
The formation and regulation of macromolecular complexes provides the backbone of most cellular processes, including gene regulation and signal transduction. The inherent complexity of assembling macromolecular structures makes current computational methods strongly limited for understanding how the physical interactions between cellular components ...

Dual mechanism of repression at a distance in the lac operon. [PDF]
The mechanism by which the internal lacZ gene sequence O2 influences lac repression was investigated by using in vivo footprinting of operon mutants. Quantitative in vivo binding curves show that O2 strengthens by approximately 3-fold repressor binding to O1 that is located 400 base pairs upstream at the transcription start site.

Engineered Living Energy Materials
Engineered living energy materials (ELEMs) are nascent research frontier for enabling sustainable energy conversion and storage. These materials exhibit unique characteristics such as self‐regeneration, biodegradability, environmental response, and evolutionary adaptability. This paper overviews different energy conversion bio‐modules, summarizes their

Dynamic model of gene regulation for the lac operon
Gene regulatory network is a collection of DNA which interact with each other and with other matter in the cell. The lac operon is an example of a relatively simple genetic network and is one of the best-studied structures in the Escherichia coli bacteria.

Abstract Cyclodepsipeptides (CDPs) represent a huge family of chemically and structurally diverse molecules with a wide ability for molecular interactions. CDPs are cyclic peptide‐related natural products made up of both proteinogenic and nonproteinogenic amino acids linked by amide and ester bonds.

Accurate prediction of gene expression by integration of DNA sequence statistics with detailed modeling of transcription regulation [PDF]
Gene regulation involves a hierarchy of events that extend from specific protein-DNA interactions to the combinatorial assembly of nucleoprotein complexes. The effects of DNA sequence on these processes have typically been studied based either on its quantitative connection with single-domain binding free energies or on empirical rules that combine ...

Light‐Activated Gene Expression System Using a Caging‐Group‐Free Photoactivatable Dye
A light‐induced gene expression system was developed using a caging‐group‐free photoactivatable dye with a multidrug‐binding transcriptional regulator, QacR. This system allowed transcriptional activation with mild visible light exposure, large dynamic range, and simultaneous detection of the state of the effector molecule in cell‐free and cellular ...
