报告题目:Thermodynamics in Biological Regulation: Adaptation, Amplification & Allocation
报告摘要:
Living systems are all dissipative and constantly under precise regulation. These regulation functions are generally achieved through biochemical reaction networks, which consist of many interacting proteins that operate out of equilibrium. Our knowledge of living systems is greatly progressed by understanding the operational mechanisms and functional outcomes of various regulatory networks. However, one fundamental and important aspect of biological regulation has been largely ignored: it is dissipative and cost energy. In this lecture, we attempt to use several simple examples to demonstrate the thermodynamics in biological regulation and to show how living systems trade energy for regulatory functions.
