Chemotaxis - Killing Model
Our detailed documentation "Spatially Resolved Modeling of Colicin-Induced Killing and Chemotactic Sensing in Escherichia Coli." includes the following information:
 * Introduction into the biological sytem
 * Chemotaxis model
 * Parameter estimation
 * Numerical methods
 * Results
 * Conclusions

You can download the documentation on [[Media:Documentation_Sensing_Colicin.pdf|Spatially Resolved Modeling of Colicin-Induced Killing and Chemotactic Sensing in Escherichia Coli]]. Further we have made a [[Media:Summary.pdf|summary]] of the complete modeling group for non-mathematicians.
