The Calvin-Benson cycle assimilates almost all the carbon in plants and is thus among the most important biochemical cycles for life on Earth. It is believed to be self-sufficient in that it ...

There are dynamic relations between the living forms and their physical environment within the environment. The cyclic movements of chemical elements of biosphere between the organism and the ...

The regeneration of a signaling molecule, phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP2), is not as simple as it was thought to be. Experimental work and mathematical modelling show that the decades-old ...

I examine the plausibility of theories that postulate the development of complex chemical organization without requiring the replication of genetic polymers such as RNA. One conclusion is that ...

A team in Taiwan has engineered a new way for plants to absorb and use carbon dioxide, potentially reshaping the fight against climate change. By inserting an extra biochemical cycle into a model ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract If k is a representative ``internal'' rate constant between substates of a given biochemical state, and if α is representative of the rate ...

Few living things seem to have less in common than plants and animals, but that assumption is being increasingly challenged. Evolution, and the ways in which the kingdom of plants and the kingdom of ...
