A thermodynamic force generated by chemical gradient and adsorption reaction
Takeshi Sugawara, Kunihiko Kaneko
Biological units such as macromolecules, organelles, and cells are directed to a proper location under gradients of relevant chemicals. By considering a macroscopic element that ha…
On the Distribution of State Values of Reproducing Cells: the General Evolution Equation and its Applications
Katsuhiko Sato, Kunihiko Kaneko
Fluctuations of cell state, e.g., abundances of some proteins, have attracted much attention both theoretically and experimentally. The distribution of such state over cells, howev…
Alteration of Chemical Concentrations through Discreteness-Induced Transitions in Small Autocatalytic Systems
Yuichi Togashi, Kunihiko Kaneko
We study an autocatalytic system consisting of several interacting chemical species. We observe a strong dependence of the concentrations of the chemicals on the size of the system…
Transitions Induced by the Discreteness of Molecules in a Small Autocatalytic System
Yuichi Togashi, Kunihiko Kaneko
Autocatalytic reaction system with a small number of molecules is studied numerically by stochastic particle simulations. A novel state due to fluctuation and discreteness in molec…
