Travelling waves of NADH and protons in yeast extract demonstrate high enzymatic activity. This study explores wave initiation and factors influencing their propagation, offering insights into glycolysis for biological information processing.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Systems Biology
  • Chemical Kinetics

Background:

  • Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway for energy production.
  • Enzymatic activity can propagate through biological systems.
  • The role of glycolysis in biological information processing is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the controlled initiation of travelling waves in yeast extract.
  • To analyze the influence of salts and co-factors on wave propagation dynamics.
  • To study the dispersion of these waves and their implications for information processing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a thin layer of yeast extract to observe glycolytic degradation.
  • Employing an activator for the enzyme phosphofructokinase (PFK) to initiate waves.
