Abstract

The possibilities and advantages of a system-dynamic and agent-based approach to the modeling of processes in living systems are discussed. The basic principles and examples of kinetic and direct multiparticle computer modeling of photosynthetic electron transport and associated processes are demonstrated on the example of the modeling of processes in an energy-transforming photosynthetic membrane. The first part of the article considers detailed kinetic models that make it possible to study the dynamics of processes occurring in the photosynthetic membrane that are inaccessible to direct experimental measurement. Identification of the parameters of kinetic models according to experimental data makes it possible to estimate the rate constants of individual reactions and to track changes in the characteristics of photosynthesis in different autotrophic organisms during culture growth, under different lighting conditions, and under stress. This article is based on the results of studies performed at the Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Biology, Moscow State University.
