Furthermore, Gronwall-Bellman-Gamidov integral inequality is revised and also generalized to some new cases. Some applications to the upper bound and uniqueness of solutions of some nonlinear equations are also given.

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM	BMEBT Seminar Presentation by Dr. Jose L. Avalos from Princeton Univ. Location: Textiles Building 101E Contact: BMEBT Seminar Series Description: TOPIC: Mitochondrial Engineering: Harnessing the Powerhouse of the Cell for the Production of Fuels and Chemicals ABSTRACT: Yeast metabolic engineering has mostly focused on the construction of metabolic pathways in the cell cytoplasm. However, there is huge potential in harnessing the diversity of environments, metabolites and enzymes that exist in the different organelles of eukaryotic cells, to benefit engineered metabolic pathways. Among these, the mitochondrion is of particular interest due to its diversity of enzymes and metabolic networks, wealth of cofactors, and dynamic physiology. Targeting whole biosynthetic pathways to the mitochondria of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae improved the production of advanced biofuels by as much as 500%, compared to identical pathways targeted to the cytoplasm. The mechanisms of this enhancement include (1) the elimination of metabolic bottlenecks, (2) increased availability of intermediates of the engineered pathways, and (3) increased local concentrations of enzymes due to their confinement inside the smaller volume of mitochondria. Mitochondrial engineering also has the potential to circumvent cytoplasmic regulatory networks that undermine engineered pathways, and to alleviate the adverse effects of pathways that contain cytotoxic intermediate metabolites, by confining these metabolites to the mitochondria, away from their cytoplasmic or nuclear targets. Mitochondrial engineering thus offers multiple new strategies to enhance engineered metabolic pathways.
