Transmembrane Activation of Catalysis and Protein Refolding in Synthetic Cells by Enzymes and Nanozymes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Synthetic cells are engineered herein to respond to an external chemical messenger by the activation of intracellular catalysis. The chemical messenger molecules are catalytically generated by an extracellular enzyme or a mineral surface, whereas the intracellular catalysis emerges via direct enzyme activation or via protein refolding.

Stochastic gene expression with delay [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
The expression of genes usually follows a two-step procedure. First, a gene (encoded in the genome) is transcribed resulting in a strand of (messenger) RNA. Afterwards, the RNA is translated into protein. Classically, this gene expression is modeled using a Markov jump process including activation and deactivation of the gene, transcription and ...

Dynamics of gene expression and the regulatory inference problem [PDF]

, 2007
From the response to external stimuli to cell division and death, the dynamics of living cells is based on the expression of specific genes at specific times. The decision when to express a gene is implemented by the binding and unbinding of transcription factor molecules to regulatory DNA.

Probing Noise in Gene Expression and Protein Production [PDF]

, 2009
We derive exact solutions of simplified models for the temporal evolution of the protein concentration within a cell population arbitrarily far from the stationary state. We show that monitoring the dynamics can assist in modeling and understanding the nature of the noise and its role in gene expression and protein production.

Opportunities in Therapeutic mRNA Stabilization: Sequence, Structure, Adjuvants and Vectors

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Current mRNA lipid nanoparticles rely on cold storage, which increases the cost and reduces access to the vaccines. As mRNA expands to other clinical opportunities, better methods to stabilize the medicines during shipping, storage, and delivery are needed.

Kinetic Model of Translational Autoregulation [PDF]

, 2018
We investigate dynamics of a kinetic model of inhibitory autoregulation as exemplified when a protein inhibits its own production by interfering with its messenger RNA, known in molecular biology as translational autoregulation. We first show how linear models without feedback set the stage with a nonequilibrium steady state that constitutes the target
