| Research Abstract |
The activities of biological cells are maintained by chemical reactions. The environment in the cell is however distinct from typical macroscopic reactors ; cells are highly crowded with macromolecules including molecular machines(e. g. enzymes), whose function is coupled with the active molecular motion, and also complex structures such as membranes and cytoskeletons. We investigated how these features of the cell may affect the reaction-diffusion behavior. We found spatiotemporal patterns in which both molecular crowding and machine motion are involved, which suggest significance of molecular "motion" in the cell.
