Prof. Bernard Korzeniewski
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH:
• Computer modeling of animal cell energy metabolism
• Regulation of oxidative phosphorylation in skeletal muscle, heart and other tissues in response to elevated energy demand
('parallel-activation' or 'each-step-activation' proposal: all steps of oxidative phosphorylation are directly activated in parallel with ATP consumption and NADH supply by some external factor during an increased energy demand)
>>> Why are skeletal muscles not depleted of energy during intense exercise?
LINK
• Mechanisms underlying muscle fatigue - self-driving "Pi double-threshold" mechanism
• Training-induced changes in the skeletal muscle bioenergetic system
• Effect of low oxygen concentration on oxidative phosphorylation
• Effect of inborn enzyme deficincies on oxidative phosphorylation; genesis of mitochondrial diseases
• Cybernetic definition of life (a living individual)
OTHER INTERESTS:
• Origin and essence of psyche and (self-)consciousness
• Integrated coherent theory of brain functioning
• Essence, origin and evolution of life
• Thermodynamic basis of life
• Essence and evolution of the Universe and physical level of reality
• Cognitive abilities of humans; status and limitations of the world view formed in the brain
• Philosophy of science
