Topological bounds on the dynamical growth rate of chemical reaction networks
Praful Gagrani, Jiwei Wang, Yannick De Decker +1
Growth and decay are system-level properties of chemical reaction networks (CRNs) relevant from prebiotic chemistry to cellular metabolism. Their properties are typically analyzed…
Debt, Growth, and the Carbon Lock-In
Silvia Montagnani, Barnabe Ledoux, David Lacoste
Despite decades of climate policy and rapid improvements in energy efficiency, global CO2 emissions continue to rise, suggesting the presence of structural drivers that offset effi…
Stability conditions of chemical networks in a linear framework
Armand Despons, Jérémie Unterberger, David Lacoste
Autocatalytic chemical reaction networks can collectively replicate or maintain their constituents despite degradation reactions only above a certain threshold, which we refer to a…
Inhibition of bacterial growth by antibiotics : A minimal model
Barnabe Ledoux, David Lacoste
Growth in bacterial populations generally depends on the environment (availability and quality of nutrients, presence of a toxic inhibitor, product inhibition..). Here, we build a…
