An analysis of glycerol synthesis by Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Glycerol metabolism is paramount to the physiological adaptation by Saccharomyces
cerevisiae to hyper-osmotic stress conditions. Glycerol metabolism also -plays a
fundamental role in maintaining a redox ...
Coupling kinetic models and advection-diffusion equations to model vascular transport in plants, applied to sucrose accumulation in sugarcane
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The sugarcane stalk, besides being the main structural component of the plant, is also the major
storage organ for carbohydrates. Sucrose forms the bulk of stored carbohydrates. Previous
studies have ...
Structural and kinetic analysis of carbon fixation and sucrose metabolism in sugarcane
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2008-03)
The aim of this study is the theoretical investigation of carbon fixation in sugarcane
leaves. Sugarcane has a well known reputation for accumulating sucrose in
the stalk to levels as high as 650 mM, almost a fifth of ...
Supply-demand analysis of anaerobic free-energy metabolism in Zymomonas mobilis
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2011-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Fermentation in Zymomonas mobilis has been described as a catabolic highway, with
50 % of soluble protein comprising glycolytic and fermentative enzymes. In conjunction
with one of the fastest observed ...
Symbolic control analysis of cellular systems
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2011-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Metabolic Control Analysis (MCA) provides a powerful quantitative framework for understanding
and explaining the control and regulation within a cellular system. MCA
allows the global control of a ...
Generic kinetic equations for modelling multisubstrate reactions in computational systems biology
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-03)
Systems biology is a rapidly developing field, studying biological systems by methodically perturbing
them either chemically, genetically or biologically. The system response is observed
and incorporated into mathematical ...
PySUNDIALS : Providing python bindings to a robust suite of mathematical tools for computational systems biology
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-03)
A Python package called PySUNDIALS has been developed which provides
an interface to the suite of nonlinear di erential/algebraic equation solvers
(SUNDIALS) using ctypes as a foreign function interface (FFI). SUNDIALS ...
A generic rate equation for catalysed, template-directed polymerisation and its use in computational systems biology
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2011-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Progress in computational systems biology depends crucially on the availability
of generic rate equations that accurately describe the behaviour
and regulation of catalysed processes over a wide range ...
Supply-demand analysis of energy metabolism in Lactococcus lactis under anaerobic conditions
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2011-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The interests in understanding the metabolic processes of microbial systems are numerous. The interest in the species Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) lies in applications to the food industry and in studies ...
Comparative cross-species analysis of detailed kinetic models of glycolysis
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
With the recent advances in the field of molecular biology, there is an increased need to
integrate data on the various constituents of the cell in kinetic models that can predict and
describe cellular ...
