Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied the dynamical aspects of life accompanied by the development of physical consideration, by considering the hierarchical structure: 1) On-off switching of large number of genes embedded in genomic DNA. Biological significance of the discrete nature of the conformational transition was theoretically discussed in relation to robust on/off switching of large number of genes on the process of cell-differentiation. 2) Field hypothesis on living cell. It was shown that unique physic-chemical properties emerge in micro systems, which may concern with the life activity of living cells. 3)Novel non-Turing scenario of body-organization during development was proposed and simple theoretical modeling was successfully achieved.
