Law of localization in chemical reaction networks
In living cells, chemical reactions are connected by sharing their products and substrates, and form complex networks, e.g. metabolic pathways. Here we developed a theory to predict the sensitivity, i.e.

Synthetic biology—putting engineering into biology [PDF]
Synthetic biology is interpreted as the engineering-driven building of increasingly complex biological entities for novel applications. Encouraged by progress in the design of artificial gene networks, de novo DNA synthesis and protein engineering, we ...

Modular decomposition of metabolic reaction networks based on flux analysis and pathway projection [PDF]
AbstractMotivation: The rational decomposition of biochemical networks into sub-structures has emerged as a useful approach to study the design of these complex systems. A biochemical network is characterized by an inhomogeneous connectivity distribution, which gives rise to several organizational features, including modularity.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and isotopomer distribution analysis applied to metabolic phenotype characterization of complex systems [PDF]
In the present work, the complex metabolic effects of a rag8 genetic mutation performed on Kluyveromyces lactis yeast cells is investigated with a specific, ‘information-rich’ analytical approach: differential NMR metabolomics. The use of such NMR-based

Edge vulnerability in neural and metabolic networks
Biological networks, such as cellular metabolic pathways or networks of corticocortical connections in the brain, are intricately organized, yet remarkably robust toward structural damage.

Different adaptation strategies of two citrus scion/rootstock combinations in response to drought stress [PDF]
Scion/rootstock interaction is important for plant development and for breeding programs. In this context, polyploid rootstocks presented several advantages, mainly in relation to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Analysis on relationship between extreme pathways and correlated reaction sets
Background Constraint-based modeling of reconstructed genome-scale metabolic networks has been successfully applied on several microorganisms. In constraint-based modeling, in order to characterize all allowable phenotypes, network-based pathways, such ...
