Abstract

This paper proposes a thermodynamic model of biological development. Several key thoughts are presented: 1) in view of thermodynamics, biological development processes irreversibly; 2) in view of thermodynamics and molecular biology, positive autoregulation, or self-regulation, of transcription factors is the only way to ensure irreversibility of a thermodynamic process of biology; 3) change in the autoregulation of transcription factors can irreversibly result in alterations in the physiological state) a physiological state is a system of signaling networks; 5) a cell and its physiological state can be identified by the pattern of its transcription factors. 6) from points aforementioned, we can analyze some thermodynamic properties of biological development by knowledge of molecular biology and biochemistry. The possible mechanisms of plant vernalization are also proposed.
生物发育的热力学:一个假说。
本文提出了生物发育的热力学模型。提出了几个关键思想:1)从热力学的角度来看,生物发育过程是不可逆的;2)从热力学和分子生物学的角度来看,转录因子的正向自调节或自我调节是确保生物热力学过程不可逆性的唯一途径;3)转录因子自调节的改变可导致生理状态的不可逆改变;生理状态是一个信号网络系统;5)一个细胞及其生理状态可以通过其转录因子的模式来识别。从上述观点出发,我们可以用分子生物学和生物化学的知识来分析生物发育的一些热力学性质。还提出了植物春化的可能机制。

期刊介绍: BioSystems encourages experimental, computational, and theoretical articles that link biology, evolutionary thinking, and the information processing sciences. The link areas form a circle that encompasses the fundamental nature of biological information processing, computational modeling of complex biological systems, evolutionary models of computation, the application of biological principles to the design of novel computing systems, and the use of biomolecular materials to synthesize artificial systems that capture essential principles of natural biological information processing.
