Abstract

In this talk, we will introduce new chemical dynamics models and theories useful for a quantitative investigation into dynamics of complex biological systems [1 ,2] Our primary focus will be on t he chemical fluctuation theorem governing gene expression and its pioneering applications to quantitative explanations and predictions of stochastic gene expression and signal propagation dynamic s in and across living cells Based on the audience’s preferences, we will showcase applications of our n ovel chemical dynamics theory to catalytic reactions of single enzymes and nanocatalytic systems [3,4], or we will discuss our newly developed transport equation , whose solution provides unified, quantitative understanding of thermal motion of molecules and ions in various complex fluids and solid electrolytes [ 5]. During the second part, we will talk about our recent work on nuclei seeds format ion and their condition dependent crystallization dynamics This work shed light on the thermodynamic origin of stable nuclei formation and provide unified, quantitative explanation of the time dependent size distribution and size dependent growth rate of nanoparticle systems observed by liquid phase TEM , which cannot be explained by the classical nucleation theory or other previous theories of nucleation.
