Phytochromes in Agrobacterium fabrum
The focus of this review is on the phytochromes Agp1 and Agp2 of Agrobacterium fabrum. These are involved in regulation of conjugation, gene transfer into plants, and other effects. Since crystal structures of both phytochromes are known, the phytochrome

The Goldbeter-Koshland switch in the first-order region and its response to dynamic disorder [PDF]
In their classical work (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1981, 78:6840-6844), Goldbeter and Koshland mathematically analyzed a reversible covalent modification system which is highly sensitive to the concentration of effectors.

Acupuncture is one of the areas among the alternative therapies that arise high curiosity in the biomedical scientific community. It is particularly popular for treatment of chronic diseases and addictions. However, contrasting with its evidence-based effectiveness, the lack of reasonable explanations for its mode of action divides that scientific ...

The significant role of biophysics in cancer prevention: An overview [PDF]
Cancer is a dynamic, multifaceted illness caused by the abnormal growth of cells. The affected cells developed uncontrollably and destroyed various tissues. This deadly disease has become an important health issue worldwide.

Impact of an electric field on P-type ATPases [PDF]
P-type ATPases are membrane proteins acting as ion pumps that drive an active transport of cations across the membrane against a concentration gradient. The required energy for the ion transport is provided by binding and hydrolysis of ATP.

Biophysical mechanisms of intracellular signaling (transduction) in higher plants
Three fundamental processes running in plant organisms under influence of environment (light, gravity) and key importance were considered. In the light case these are phytоchrome regulation and phototropism considering process is gravitropism. Phytochrome is responsible for regulatory reaction at the inhibition of which the plants cannot be normally ...

Energy-based Analysis of Biochemical Cycles using Bond Graphs [PDF]
Thermodynamic aspects of chemical reactions have a long history in the Physical Chemistry literature. In particular, biochemical cycles - the building-blocks of biochemical systems - require a source of energy to function.
