Mathematical models of mitochondrial bioenergetics provide powerful analytical tools to help interpret experimental data and facilitate experimental design for elucidating the supporting biochemical… (More)
Model-based experiment design specifies the data to be collected that will most effectively characterize the biological system under study. Existing model-based design of experiment algorithms have… (More)
Dynamic biological systems, such as gene regulatory networks (GRNs) and protein signaling networks, are often represented as systems of ordinary differential equations. Such equations can be utilized… (More)
Under high Ca(2+) load conditions, Ca(2+) concentrations in the extra-mitochondrial and mitochondrial compartments do not display reciprocal dynamics. This is due to a paradoxical increase in the… (More)
Competing models of mitochondrial energy metabolism in the heart are highly disputed. In addition, the mechanisms of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and scavenging are not well understood.… (More)
Mitochondrial adenine nucleotide (AdN) content is regulated through the Ca(2+)-activated, electroneutral ATP-Mg/P(i) carrier (APC). The APC is a protein in the mitochondrial carrier super family that… (More)
In cardiac mitochondria, matrix free Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]m) is primarily regulated by Ca(2+) uptake and release via the Ca(2+) uniporter (CU) and Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCE) as well as by Ca(2+)… (More)
A protocol for high-frequency callus, somatic embryogenesis, and plant regeneration for Tripsacum is described. Plants were regenerated from complete shoot meristems (3–4 mm) via organogenesis and… (More)
Cardiac development is a complex, multiscale process encompassing cell fate adoption, differentiation and morphogenesis. To elucidate pathways underlying this process, a recently developed algorithm… (More)
Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase is a flavoenzyme that reversibly catalyzes the oxidation of reduced lipoyl substrates with the reduction of NAD(+) to NADH. In vivo, the dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase… (More)
