Mar. 23/01/2024 11:00 Webinaire ILKER Efe (Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden) Energetics of cellular processes and metabolic constraints in living organisms (Physique Théorique) Nonequilibrium processes within living systems exact a metabolic price: the constant maintenance of fuel molecules and raw materials at sufficient concentrations to provide thermodynamic driving potentials for biological function. Whether/how the metabolic costs constrain biological processes and natural evolution remains elusive as the fitness of organisms is subject to many trade offs from bioenergetic costs to speed and accuracy of cellular processes. In this talk, I will present recent efforts in establishing a quantitative framework to study the role of metabolism in evolution of cellular processes and development of organisms.
