From Molecular Reactions to Non-Linear ODEs


We must here propose a Mathematical Modeling of the elementary molecular reactions. The idea of the Characterization Approach is that this modelization must both accounts for every small steps of the system and allow the experimental characterizations.

Therefore, the following equations do not describe properly what really happens in the cells. For exemple, we know that the transcription factor FlhD-FlhC is actually an hexamere FlhD4C2. But, as we will surely not get access to the dissociation constant of the hexamerisation, we just treat it as an abstract inducer protein "FlhDC", with an order (n) in its complexation caracterisation probably around 2*4 = 8 (but perhaps completly different ! ; the estimation of the error by the parameter finder program will tell us if we are right to do so).
