Intracellular Signaling Cascades01:24

Intracellular Signaling Cascades

53.4K
Once a ligand binds to a receptor, the signal is transmitted through the membrane and into the cytoplasm. The continuation of a signal in this manner is called signal transduction. Signal transduction only occurs with cell-surface receptors, which cannot interact with most components of the cell, such as DNA. Only internal receptors can interact directly with DNA in the nucleus to initiate protein synthesis. When a ligand binds to its receptor, conformational changes occur that affect the...

Steps in the Modeling Process

653
Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Active Drug, Metabolite and Fraction of Metabolized Drug

220
In pharmacotherapy, monitoring drug concentrations is paramount, especially for drugs whose therapeutic effects hinge on both the active compound and its metabolite. Hepatic impairment profoundly influences drug potency by altering liver function. If the drug is more potent than its metabolite, impaired liver function amplifies drug activity due to elevated drug concentration levels. Conversely, if the metabolite holds greater potency, diminished liver function diminishes drug activity by...

Activation Energy01:26

Activation Energy

86.4K
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy necessary for a chemical reaction to move forward. The higher the activation energy, the slower the rate of the reaction. However, adding heat to the reaction will increase the rate, since it causes molecules to move faster and increase the likelihood that molecules will collide. The collision and breaking of bonds represents the uphill phase of a reaction and generates the transition state. The transition state is an unstable high-energy state...

Intracellular Hormone Receptors

Lipid-soluble hormones diffuse across the plasma and nuclear membrane of target cells to bind to their specific intracellular receptors. These receptors act as transcription factors that regulate gene expression and protein synthesis in the target cell

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology and Bioengineering
  • Environmental Microbiology
  • Metabolic Engineering

Background:

  • Traditional anaerobic digestion models (e.g., ADM1) simplify microbial processes and lack intracellular detail.
  • Advances in metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics provide unprecedented data on microbial activity.
  • There is a need for more powerful models that incorporate this new biological information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To augment the standard Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1 (ADM1) with detailed intracellular microbial activity.
  • To couple ADM1 with Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) models of methanogenic species.
  • To evaluate the impact of this integration on simulating biogas production and microbial community dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Augmented ADM1 by coupling it with FBA models for individual methanogenic species.
  • Simulated steady-state conditions and dynamic responses to pulsed feeding of maize silage.
  • Introduced non-growth associated maintenance (NGAM) as a key parameter for cellular energy demand.

Main Results:

  • Coupled models show comparable steady-state methane production to ADM1 with adequate NGAM.
  • Dynamic simulations revealed significant deviations in methanogen population response to pulsed feeding compared to ADM1.
  • Coupled models predict thousands of intracellular metabolic fluxes, offering high-resolution pathway activity insights.
  • Yield coefficients are implicitly encoded in metabolic networks, reducing the need for explicit parameterization.

Conclusions:

  • Augmenting ADM1 with FBA models is feasible, enhancing simulation accuracy and biological representation.
  • The coupled approach provides detailed intracellular predictions compatible with metatranscriptomic/metaproteomic data.
  • This integration advances the simulation of microbial community-driven processes and links modeling directly to experimental validation.
