Chemotaxis - Killing Model

Our detailed documentation "Model for Sensing Network and the Production of Colicins as the Killing Mechanism" includes the following information:

  • Introduction into the biological sytem
  • Chemotaxis model
  • Parameter estimation
  • Numerical methods
  • Results
  • Conclusions

You can download the documentation here and the summary of the modeling project can be downloaded here.


Simulation movies

Below is a list of simulation movies. Specific parameters can be taken from our documentation.

  • movie 1 (3D, 2D)
    • 4-PDE system
    • killer cells positioned in corner
    • prey evenly distributed
  • movie 2 (3D, 2D)
    • 5-PDE system
    • killer cells positioned in corner
