Sequestillator Model 2: A More Complicated Model

While Model 1 gave us some important results (mainly: need a low Kd for oscillations to occur) , we decided to look at more complete model that accounted for some of the dimerizations the proteins undergo:

Parameters/functions

  • a= production of NifA
  • kf= binding rate of NifA and NifL
  • kr= dissociation rate of NifA/NifL complex
  • any d= degradation rate of that species
  • kb:rate of complex formation (i.e. dimerization, formation of tetramers/hexamers)
  • kb2: dissociation rate of such complexes given above
