ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Kinetic modelling of biological phenomena in an attempt to understand the underlying dynamics and complexity of life is becoming an indispensable tool to systems biology. A new paradigm of mathematical ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are derivations of molecular oxygen that can have detrimental e ects in cells. ROS can readily react with DNA, proteins and lipids often resulting in the loss of structure ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In order for mathematical models of metabolism to accurately emulate experimental data the conditions in which parameter values are obtained must be close to the actual in vivo environment. However, this ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The regulation of phosphofructokinase (PFK) by ATP and AMP is a necessary feature for glycolytic oscillations. The enzyme adenylate kinase (AK) is responsible for the interconversion of ATP + AMP 2 ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Many studies have investigated the biological effects of the external environment on the genetic expression of a living cell. This particular study looks at gene clusters that are switched on at a series ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Acetaldehyde plays a role in the rate of fermentation and the quality of wine. High levels of acetaldehyde in fermenting juice may result in sluggish/stuck fermentations, and in wine, it may impart ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Scientists and biochemical engineers alike are very interested in the control and regulation of free-energy metabolism in micro-organisms, whether the findings purely satisfy scientific curiosity or ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The complexity of microbial systems has presented serious obstacles to the quantification of fermentation processes. Using computer modelling techniques progress has been made in monitoring, controlling ...
