Molecular Reactions


We show here the elementary reactions from wich we started. They intend to be "exhaustives" in the sense that every steps of the System is described. Each of those reactions has to be "mathematically interpreted", in a Model (see the model) that accounts for the important phenomenon, and in the same time allows us to find experimentally (see the protocol) every involved parameters.


The System we are studying is the "Core System" (see Network Design) that we can represent in the following, with all alternatives (pFlhDC/pTet ; TetR/EnvZ/OmpR*) :
The Full System
The interaction surrounded in red (f5) is the one of the detailed example


Complexation Reactions

The double triangle (|><|) is a symbol for complexations :
Compl.jpg means n1 molecules of FlhDC complexed with a pFliA promoter

On the Example :

How given amounts of FlhDC and FliA would produce FP1 ?

FlhDC and FliA bind to pFliL :

Production Reactions

The double triangle (|><|) is a symbol for complexations :
Compl.jpg means n1 molecules of FlhDC complexed with a pFliA promoter

On the Example :

How given amounts of FlhDC and FliA would produce FP1 ?

FlhDC><pFliL and FliA><pFliL causes "production" of FP1 :

Degradation/Dilution Reactions

On the Example :

How given amounts of FlhDC and FliA would produce FP1 ?

FP1 disappears because of its degradation and dilution :
