Biochemical topology: from vectorial metabolism to morphogenesis.

摘要: In living cells, many biochemical processes are spatially organized: they have a location, and often direction, in cellular space. the hands of Peter Mitchell Jennifer Moyle, chemiosmotic formulation this principle proved to be key understanding biological energy transduction related aspects physiology. For H. E. Huxley A. F. Huxley, it provided basis for unravelling mechanism muscle contraction; vectorial biochemistry continues reverberate through research on cytoplasmic transport, motility organization. The spatial deployment serves here as point departure an inquiry into morphogenesis self-organization during apical growth fungal hyphae.
