Johannesburg 1994 / Living cells are highly auto-dynamic entities which means that the
underlying biochemistry is equally dynamic, a reality which is ignored
by most researchers.
Theoretical studies indicate that such a state must be due to the
existence of oscillatory variations in the levels and activities of key components in the cell. In this study, the dynamic behaviour of four
major, interrelated areas of cell biochemistry (phosphorylation,
dephosphorylation, the terminal reaction of glycolysis and the amount
of soluble protein) were examined and all systems found to oscillate
in murine erythroleukaemic cells (MEL) and, where examined, also
in the human HL-6Q leukaemic cell line. [Abbreviated Abstract. Open document to view full version] / MT2017
