[Regulation levels of photosynthesis processes].

The basic mechanisms of kinetic regulation of photosynthetic processes are considered, which provide a strict light regulation of electron transfer in photosynthetic reaction centers and a more flexible regulation at the level of interaction of photosystems, transmembrane ion fluxes and coupling with dark reactions of the Calvin cycle. A generalized model was developed, which integrates the modern knowledge about photosynthetic processes of higher plants. The general principles of multilevel regulation in photosynthetic systems are discussed.

[The effect of electric field on the spatial-time patterns in the reaction-diffusion system].

A model of electrodiffusion processes in the vicinity of cell membrane was developed. The model takes into account chemical reactions, Coulomb interactions between charged particles and the effect of external electric field. It was concluded that the applied electric field can change the characteristics of space-time patterns in the system. Dissipative structures slowly move and this is accompanied by a change in the number of structure elements. The characteristic equation includes odd powers of the wavenumber, which can lead to the appearance of soliton-like structures. The dissipative structures can appear not only due to the Turing diffusion instability but due to the disperse instability under electric field the applied.

[Regulation of nitrate metabolism through anion polycompartmentation in plant roots].

A new concept illustrated by a corresponding mathematical model of nitrate metabolism regulation is proposed. The model is based on root nitrate compartmentation in several functional pools: storage, metabolic and a mobile pool which is intended for translocation to shoots. Data on nitrate uptake, compartmentation, reduction in intact roots and translocation to shoots were obtained on steady-state wheat seedlings grown at 25 and 12 degrees C in the root zone. The net uptake, influx/efflux ratio, mobile pool size and translocation changed depending on the medium temperature. The oscillations of the net uptake rate, nitrate tissue concentration were revealed and the effect of temperature on these changes was demonstrated. The scheme of regulation is based on the idea that net uptake through nitrate influx/efflux is under the control of the nitrate the mobile pool whose size was dependent on the nitrate translocation into shoots. The mathematical model is represented by a system of ordinary differential equations simplified according to the time hierarchy of reactions. It has a limit cycle at definite values of the parameters. The model postulates the mechanism of a positive feed-back regulation of the transfer of newly absorbed nitrate into translocated pool formed in the root cortex. Theoretical results are verified experimentally.

[New spatial-temporal dynamics in a reaction-electrodiffusion system].

The properties of a system reaction-electrodiffusion were studied using two-component model of interaction and diffusion of charged particles near membrane in solutions of low ionic strength to which traditional assumptions about local electroneutrality of medium are not applicable. It is shown that the effect of self-consistent electric field leads to bistability, the appearance of localized structures with contrast charge distribution and regimes aperiodical in time and in space.

[Kinetic model of primary processes of photosynthesis in chloroplasts. Fast phase of chlorophyll fluorescence induction under light of various intensity].

A kinetic model was developed, which describing the system of generation and consumption of the transmembrane electrochemical proton potential delta mu H+ in primary photosynthetic processes. The model describes the catalytic cycles of photosystems I and II and the cytochrome b/f complex, as well as the ATP synthesis and passive leakage of H+, K+ [symbol: see text] Cl- ions through the thylakoid membrane. The dependence of the electron transfer rates on the value of transmembrane electric potential was taken into account. The model was applied to describe the experimental data on the registration of the fast phase of fluorescence induction. The model gives a realistic description of the fast phase of induction curves at different light intensities (from high to low).

[Experimental and theoretical study of processes of cyclical electron transport around photosystem I].

The kinetics of photoinduced EPR I signals at different concentrations of ferredoxin was studied on isolated pea chloroplasts. A kinetic model of ferredoxin-dependent electron transport around photosystem I was suggested. A multiparticle model was constructed, which makes it possible to "directly" model the processes of electron transfer in multiprotein complexes and limited diffusion in different compartments of the system (stroma, lumen, and intermembrane space). A comparison of the kinetic and "direct" models revealed an important role of spatial organization of the system in the kinetics of redox turnover of P700.

[A kinetic model of the cytochrome bf complex. Evaluation of kinetic parameters].

A kinetic model of the cytochrome bf complex was developed on the assumption that the Q-cycle operates. The bf complex was considered as a membrane enzyme catalyzing the electron transfer from plastoquinol to plastocyanine, which is coupled with proton translocation from the chloroplast stroma to the thylakoid lumen. The dependence of the electron transfer rates on the value of the transmembrane electric potential was taken into account. The model was applied to describe the experimental data on the flash-induced turnover of cytochromes b, plastocyanine, and the kinetics of proton deposition in the thylakoid lumen. The estimation of model parameters was performed.

[Mathematical model of an experimental ecological system with spatially separated components].

The paper describes a model of an experimental ecological system consisting of autotrophic and heterotrophic components and a nutrient medium. The system has a zero stationary state and needs a correction. The life time of the system and the level of the necessary correction have been determined for the experimental ecological system: lettuce - slugs - nutrient solution. Optimal conditions for the conjugation of trophic components of the system have been established.

[Modelling of pattern formation and oscillations in pH and transmembrane potential near the cell membrane of Chara corallina].

A mathematical model of potencial-dependent proton transfer across the membrane of Chara corallina cells is considered. To construct the model, partial differential equations describing the system dynamics in time and in space were used. The variables of the model are the proton concentration and membrane potential. The model describes the experimentally observed inhomogeneous distribution of transmembrane potential and pH along the membrane and oscillations of the potential and pH in time. A mechanism of the distribution of pH and membrane potential along the Chara corallina cell is suggested.

[Modeling of hysteresis in pH pattern formation along the cell membrane of algae Chara corallina].

It is known that illumination of the algae Chara corallina results in the formation along the membrane of regions with inhomogeneous distribution of pH. It was shown that, in a particular range of illumination intensities, two states with different pH distribution are realized at one and the same value of light intensity: an entirely homogeneous state and completely formed structures (pattern). The transition from the homogeneous state to the pattern formation takes place at one value of light intensity, and the back transition, at another light intensity, i.e., the hysteresis is observed. This phenomenon was studied by mathematical modeling. The mechanism of hysteresis is discussed.

[The application of PS II model for the analysis of fluorescence yield transients induced by actinic single turnover flash in the time range from 100 ns to 10 s].

Changes in flash-induced fluorescence yield in preparations of thermophilic Chlorella pyrenoidosa Chick cells (native and in the presence of DCMU) were investigated in the time range from 100 ns to 10 s using a new measuring system. The results were analyzed by mathematical modeling of processes in photosystem II. It was shown that the detailed description of recombination (including nonradiative) processes in photosystem II is important to simulate the fluorescence yield transients induced by an actinic single turnover flash. The model photosystem II parameters were modified to describe the light-induced effects in the presence of DCMU. By comparing the theoretical fluorescence curves with experimental ones, we obtained the values of relative fluorescence yield and the FM/F0 ratio, which is typical for experimental data. As a result of simulation, the values of the model parameters (rate constants of electron transfers at the donor and acceptor sites of photosystem II, pH in stroma, initial redox state of the plastoquinone pool, the rate of plastoquinol oxidation, and the rate constants of nonradiative recombination processes) were determined.

[Model of the response of the membrane transport system to an alternating electric field].

We suggest a mathematical model of the transmembrane ionic transport system, which can produce the damped concentration oscillations. The influence of the periodic electric field is considered under assumption, that the ionic fluxes near the membrane depend on the medium potential. The estimated resonance frequency for the K(+)-H+ antiport system in bilayer membrane is less than 1 Hz.

[Oscillations of intracellular pH values and the character of its distribution in immunocompetent cell populations].

Experimental measurements of intracellular pH kinetics detect intracellular pH (pHin) rhythms with a period about an hour and an amplitude comparable with the standard deviation of pHin in cell population. It was shown that pHin oscillations were probably to affect the experimental pH-distribution pattern. The pH-distribution of the population at normal physiological state is usually close to the normal pattern. The time-course of the pHin value for the cell population was shown to have a pattern of a kind of beatings to get the normal pH-distribution. Distributions of several "beating"--functions were used to approximate an experimental pH-distribution of immunocompetent cell population.
