1) Chemical reactions in biology:x-axis = “reaction coordinate”
= amount of protein phosphorylation
2) Networks of neurons that “fire” action potentials:x-axis = average firing rate of a group of neurons

Why is this important?
Transition between states = loss of memoryTransition times determine memory decay times.
![Page 47: Molecular mechanisms of long-term memory Spine Shaft of Dendrite Axon Presynaptic Postsynaptic Synapse PSD](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c765503460f9492a961/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Something like physics
Barrier height depends on area between “rate on” and “rate off” curves, which scales with system size.
![Page 48: Molecular mechanisms of long-term memory Spine Shaft of Dendrite Axon Presynaptic Postsynaptic Synapse PSD](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649c765503460f9492a961/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Physics analogy: barriers with noise ...
Rate of transition over barrier decreases exponentially with barrier height ... (like thermal physics, with a potential barrier, U and thermal noise energy proportional to kT )
Inherent noise because reactions take place one molecule at a time.

General result for memory systems
Time between transitions increases exponentially with scale of the system.
Scale = number of molecules in a biochemical system = number of neurons in a network
Rolling dice analogy: number of rolls needed, each with with probability, p to get N rolls in row, probability is pN
time to wait increases as (1/p)N = exp[N.ln(1/p)]

Analysis: Project system to 1D
1) Number of rings “on” with any activation, n.
2) Assume average number, P, of subunits phosphorylated for all rings “on”.
3) Calculate reaction rates for one ring, assuming contibution of others is (n-1)P.
4) Calculate average time in configurations with these reaction rates.
5) Hence calculate new value of P.
6) Repeat Step 2 until convergence.
7) Calculate rate to switch “on”, r+n, and “off”, r-
n.
8) Continue with new value of n.
