Metabolism across all known living systems combines two key features. First, all of the molecules that are required are either available in the environment or can be built up from available resources via other reactions within the system. Second, the reactions proceed in a fast and synchronized fashion via catalysts that are also produced within the system. Building on early work by Stuart Kauffman, a precise mathematical model for describing such self-sustaining autocatalytic systems (RAF theory) has been developed to explore the origins and organization of living systems within a general formal framework. In this paper, we develop this theory further by establishing new relationships between classes of RAFs and related classes of networks, and developing new algorithms to investigate and visualize RAF structures in detail. We illustrate our results by showing how it reveals further details into the structure of archaeal and bacterial metabolism near the origin of life, and provide techniques to study and visualize the core aspects of primitive biochemistry.

In cardiac myocytes, calcium (Ca) can be released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum independently of Ca influx from voltage-dependent membrane channels. This efflux of Ca, referred to as spontaneous Ca release (SCR), is due to Ryanodine receptor fluctuations, which can induce spontaneous Ca sparks, which propagate to form Ca waves. This release of Ca can then induce delayed after-depolarizations (DADs), which can lead to arrhythmogenic-triggered activity in the heart. However, despite its importance, to date there is no mathematical model of SCR that accounts for experimentally observed features of subcellular Ca. In this article, we present an experimentally based model of SCR that reproduces the timing distribution of spontaneous Ca sparks and key features of the propagation of Ca waves emanating from these spontaneous sparks. We have coupled this model to an ionic model for the rabbit ventricular action potential to simulate SCR within several thousand cells in cardiac tissue. We implement this model to study the formation of an ectopic beat on a cable of cells that exhibit SCR-induced DADs.

AbstractMetabolism across all known living systems combines two key features. First, all of the molecules that are required are either available in the environment or can be built up from available resources via other reactions within the system. Second, the reactions proceed in a fast and synchronised fashion via catalysts that are also produced within the system. Building on early work by Stuart Kauffman, a precise mathematical model for describing such self-sustaining autocatalytic systems (RAF theory) has been developed to explore the origins and organisation of living systems within a general formal framework. In this paper, we develop this theory further by establishing new relationships between classes of RAFs and related classes of networks, and developing new algorithms to investigate and visualise RAF structures in detail. We illustrate our results by showing how it reveals further details into the structure of archaeal and bacterial metabolism near the origin of life, and provide techniques to study and visualise the core aspects of primitive biochemistry.
