Abstract

AbstractThe general requirements for the occurence of oscillations in a number of various biochemical systems are reviewed. Experimental demonstration of oscillating states in mitochondria, in intact yeast and slime mould cells are given. To demonstrate the minimum requirements for a biochemical oscillator the mechanism of glycolytic oscillations in yeast cells under homogeneous and nonhomogeneous conditions in space is described together with an example of a model subjected to numerical analysis. The general significance of instable states for the creation of domains in time and space is stressed.
