Article Abstract

We have built an autocatalytic reaction network, based on the hydrolysis of certain imines, which exhibits bistability in an open system. The positive feedback originates from the interplay of fast acid-base equilibria, leading to hydroxide ion production, and pH-dependent hydrolysis rates. The addition of a first-order removal of the autocatalyst can result in sustained pH oscillations close to physiological conditions. The unit-amplitude pH oscillations are accompanied by the stoichiometric conversion of imine into amine back and forth. A systematic parameter search is carried out to characterize the rich observable dynamics and identify the evolving bifurcations.

A fundamental question in the field of molecular computation is what computational tasks a biochemical system can carry out. In this work, we focus on the problem of finding the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for log-affine models. We revisit a construction due to Gopalkrishnan of a mass-action system with the MLE as its unique positive steady state, which is based on choosing a basis for the kernel of the design matrix of the model.

Infected wound treatment remains a critical challenge in clinical medicine. Although existing treatments, like local debridement, antimicrobial agents, and growth factor therapies, have demonstrated certain therapeutic effects, they primarily target only specific stages of wound healing. Moreover, the escalating issue of antibiotic resistance limits their efficacy.

National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures, Collaborative Innovation Center of Advanced Microstructures, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Artificial Functional Materials, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing, 210093, P. R. China.

Artificial porous polymer coatings are promising for alleviating the side reactions and dendrite growth on Zn anodes. Nevertheless, the low ion transport ability constrains their application under harsh conditions such as thin Zn foil, high current density, and high depth of discharge (DOD). Herein, a 2D active filler is introduced to optimize the Zn migration in porous polymer coating.
