Abstract
Oscillatory control of glycolysis, the hitherto best known biochemical oscillator, is proposed as a model for biological timing systems. It works in yeast cells, cell-free extracts of yeast cells and beef heart muscle and in rat liver mitochondria. It affects not only glycolytic intermediates like sugar phosphates, pyridine and adenine nucleotides, but also glucose incorporation in yeast and ion transport and water binding in mitochondria. The glycolytic oscillator can be reset by adding control chemicals. Its mechanism depends essentially on the control characteristics of one or a few enzymes.
