Cells have developed several signaling pathways and transcriptional regulatory networks to regulate their size and coordinate their growth with the cell division. Importantly, the interior of a cell is naturally packed with macromolecules and is said to be crowded. Macromolecular crowding has been intensely studied in vitro and is known to affect the kinetics of reactions. However, studying the effects of crowding in vivo is more challenging due to the high level of complexity and heterogeneity in the cytoplasm. In this thesis, we address the effects of changing the cellular volume on the kinetics of biochemical reactions in live Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. We osmotically compressed yeast cells, thus increasing the total macromolecular ...
