Here, we quantify the dissipation associated with enzyme catalysis using minimalistic models of enzyme kinetics and a complete set of microscopic rate constants. We identify a power-law proportionality between total dissipated energy and key kinetic parameters- specifically, the catalytic constant and the specificity constant. These scale-invariant relationships hold across enzyme classes, biological domains, and natural or engineered enzymes. Consistent with Jensen's hypothesis, specialized enzymes display greater catalytic efficiency and higher dissipation. Yet, the wide range of observed efficiencies and dissipation values suggests that scale-independent organizational principles govern enzyme catalysis. Our findings indicate that biological evolution has not merely tolerated dissipation but has actively harnessed and regulated it within constraints imposed by functional and environmental demands. The scale-invariant perspective provides a unifying view of physical (dissipative) and biological (adaptive) evolutionary processes in the emergence of enzymatic function.</p>","PeriodicalId":50730,"journal":{"name":"Biosystems","volume":" ","pages":"105568"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144977437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This centroid transitions from a statistical average to an informational attractor, embodying recursive feedback and autopoietic coherence. The analysis incorporates entropy metrics, Lyapunov exponents, and nonlinear dynamics to trace the system trajectory from order to chaos. Results support the hypothesis that informational dissipation underlies the genesis of cognitive and self-organizing systems. Unlike prior models treating information as pre-existent, this approach frames it as emergent, situating cognition and consciousness within thermodynamic and information-theoretic processes. The findings advance an integrative view of life and mind, positing that consciousness arises not from structure alone, but from recursive stabilization of information in dissipative systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50730,"journal":{"name":"Biosystems","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 105570"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144893591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Orthodox biomechanics is essentially based on mechanistic models from the seventeenth century and allowed over-simplified representations of anatomy and motion to persist to the present day, with the approximations and assumptions inherent within its methods routinely overlooked. Living organisms, however, are hugely complex, intrinsically indeterminate and exist in states that are far from equilibrium, and although their simplification within the machine model has enabled great progress in the mapping of structure to function — and benefitted our healthcare systems in remarkable ways — it has also obfuscated the foundational basis for stability, motion and life itself.</div><div>In contrast, biotensegrity is a conceptual framework that is founded on a fundamental set of self-organizing principles and includes all the complexities of life — at every heterarchical level from viruses to vertebrates and molecules to the whole organism — with stability and motion controlled from within the structure itself and the homeostatic algorithm of super-stability. Here, anatomy is no longer reduced to a set of discrete parts but becomes the physical representation of a hugely complex pattern of interacting force vectors, and which are themselves organized within a complex tensegrity configuration that enables each part of the system to adapt to its locally-changing environment in the most energy-efficient way — from embryo to adult — and remain intrinsically stable throughout.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50730,"journal":{"name":"Biosystems","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 105569"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144902742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Why did natural selection not favour positive membrane potentials? Further, membrane constituents are also negatively charged, in the form phospholipids. Putative cis-charge repulsion represents an obstacle to the emergency of multicellularity.

Multicellularity appears <em>ab initio</em> maladaptive.</div><div>We present the hypothesis here that multicellularity may have been initiated, driven and potentiated by purely physical processes - one classical and one quantum. In water, negatively charged particles in the nano-to macro-molecular size-range, can aggregate, while positively charged repel one another. This counter-intuitive phenomenon has been consistently observed and recently attributed to the orientation of water molecules against the negatively charged surface and their re-orientation as negatively charged particles approach. This classical attraction works at long range, on a macromolecular scale. As two interfaces approximate closer, there is quantum attraction. Quantum nuclear effects of water hydrogen atoms are accentuated at interfacial layers compared to the bulk, due to the contraction of hydrogen bonds. This creates differences between the interfacial water and bulk in quantum free energy, which is only extinguished with the extrusion of intervening water. Quantum and classical attraction cooperate to initiate and stabilise multicellularity, while the whole process is possible because the membrane potential is negative and hydrogen is the dominant isotope rather than deuterium or tritium.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50730,"journal":{"name":"Biosystems","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 105565"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144859797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is now proposed that the definition of ‘currents that flow’ within the Constructal Law should be recognized to include the flow of information in living systems as a biogenic corollary. As the foundation of our biological system, cells seek to maximize their effective information about their external and internal environment. As their constructs, multicellular organisms reflect this requirement, accounting for living forms and their anatomic features. The cellular senome represents the crucial element of this flow, acting as the bioactive interface between environmental syntactic information and the internally-generated cellular semantic information upon which cellular actions depend.
