Ultrahigh molecular recognition specificity of competing DNA oligonucleotide strands in thermal equilibrium: a cooperative transition to order

Marc Schenkelberger, Christian Trapp, Timo Mai +1

The specificity of molecular recognition is important to molecular self-organization. A prominent example is the biological cell where, within a highly crowded molecular environmen…

Modeling pre-biotic self-organization: The chemical dynamics of autocatalytic networks

Varun Giri

In this thesis we present a mathematical model describing the population dynamics of molecules in an artificial chemistry where large molecules can be produced by successive ligati…

Flux-based classification of reactions reveals a functional bow-tie organization of complex metabolic networks

Shalini Singh, Areejit Samal, Varun Giri +3

Unraveling the structure of complex biological networks and relating it to their functional role is an important task in systems biology. Here we attempt to characterize the functi…

The origin of large molecules in primordial autocatalytic reaction networks

Varun Giri, Sanjay Jain

Large molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids are crucial for life, yet their primordial origin remains a major puzzle. The production of large molecules, as we know it today,…

Evidence of a universal power law characterizing the evolution of metabolic networks

Shalini, Areejit Samal, Varun Giri +3

Metabolic networks are known to be scale free but the evolutionary origin of this structural property is not clearly understood. One way of studying the dynamical process is to com…

Low Degree Metabolites Explain Essential Reactions and Enhance Modularity in Biological Networks

Areejit Samal, Shalini Singh, Varun Giri +3

Recently there has been a lot of interest in identifying modules at the level of genetic and metabolic networks of organisms, as well as in identifying single genes and reactions t…
