(i) Complementary dualities | ||||
Elementary particles | A | Particle | Material quantum of constant inertial mass | *Initially, the duality of photon was described when investigating black body radiation.3 |
| B | Wave | Wave lengths and refraction | *Formulation of Schrödinger equation became to be necessary for structural modeling of atoms and molecules.3 |
Biomembranes | A | Liquid mosaic | The model description included affinity interactions forming clusters of membrane molecules. The structure of these clusters can be dynamically changed in response to external stimuli via biochemical reactions or by means interactive cross-linking | *Model of biomembranes reflecting their duality was proposed *Multiple liquid crystal states dependent on temperature values were described in individual cases of chemically prepared liquid crystals. In accordance with these observed model changes, consistent increase of biomembrane fluidity accompanied by the corresponding increased activities of certain immune functions or changes in sizes of mammalian cell subpopulations has been observed in response to fewer |
| B | Liquid crystal | Formation of different gel and liquid crystalline biomembrane states depends on temperature changes, sound waves, neurotoxic non-receptor interaction of amyloids with cellular membranes during Alzheimer disease and perhaps also on infrared radiation | |
(ii) Mutually intergrowing dualities4 | ||||
Evolution of complex cognition | A | E-loops | Network forming pathways of response to elementary signal source | *Gene duplications, recombinations and mutations, slippage mechanisms or other phylogenic changes in molecular (DNA, RNA or protein) segments variously responsible for molecular function or regulatory modification play important role in “interlaced” co-evolution of E-loops and EL-coordination *The oldest declaration of E-loops comes from |
B | EL-coordination | Crossing pathways of molecular signaling, expression of genes in cell nuclei, variously specific cell-cell communications and actions of specific organ centers (brain, endocrine system, bone marrow, etc.) can participate in coordination of overall or local responses of organisms to complex sources of multiple signals. These crossing pathways complete individual networks of E-loops. | ||
Relicts of nucleo-organisms in question | A | Nucleo- organisms | Nucleo-organisms (NO) were extinct organisms containing only nucleic acids but not proteins. They are considered as ancestors of proteo-organisms | *Various amino-acid derivatives of RNA occurring in primitive PO are assumed to be relict traces of transition organism forms between NO and PO when considering trends to spread original recognition repertoire of nucleic acids in NO *It is a question, whether evolution of nucleic acids in PO maintained or integrated old mechanisms of NO origin. This question also concerns the puzzle of necessarily synchronous changes in chromosome numbers occurring from time to time during evolutionary diversification of species. |
B | Proteo- organisms | Proteo-organisms (PO) are current organisms synthesizing proteins based on genetic code. | ||
Cells composing multi-cellular organisms (M-cells) | A | Living elements | Behavior of some M-cells occasionally looks like that of unicellular organisms (for some details see the corresponding text in right column). | Mainly vertebrate immune cells and cancer cells dissociate from cell-cell conjugates or tissue agglomerates via different mechanisms like protozoans |
B | Components of organism | Certain mechanisms of M-cell growth suppression, tissue nourishments and multilevel protective or self-protective machineries exist. In addition, admirable relationships between mitosis and M-cell death contrasting with usual expansion of unicellular organisms can be often observed. |
