A TOUR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY iGEM TEAM


We've reached modelling, the fifth stop on our tour! We've looked in to two different methods of modelling our system: Differential Equation Based Modelling and Membrane Computing. Here, you can explore the similarities and differences, as well as the functions of each method. As well, you can find the results of our characterization of the signalling pathway. Once you're done, we'll move on to the Second Life component of the project HERE.


DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS MODELLING METHODS
The simbiology interface from Matlab was used to simulate the differential equations model. Chemical Kinetic equations were used to build the model for simulation.

Fig : The Chemical Kinetic Rate Equation
k is the kinetic rate constant. The size of k will determine the speed of the reaction. A smaller value of k will produce a slow reaction rate while a larger value of k will produce a fast reaction rate.
[A] is the amount of reactant A present. Simulations were run for 50000 seconds . It was considered to be enough time for the system to reach equilibrium. The Sundials Solver (how do they work ?)was used to run these simulations because for this model it was

The Reactions
The system was represented by the following reactions. The reactions with double headed arrows had two rate constants(forward/ reverse rate constant). All reactions were assumed to be elementary reactions.
