Incorporating Diffusion in Complex Geometries into Stochastic Chemical Kinetics Simulations
A method is developed for incorporating diffusion of chemicals in complex geometries into stochastic chemical kinetics simulations. Systems are modeled using the reaction-diffusion master equation, with jump rates for diffusive motion between mesh cells calculated from the discretization weights of an embedded boundary method. Since diffusive jumps between cells are treated as first order react...
متن کاملMonte carlo simulations of enzyme reactions in two dimensions: fractal kinetics and spatial segregation.
Conventional equations for enzyme kinetics are based on mass-action laws, that may fail in low-dimensional and disordered media such as biological membranes. We present Monte Carlo simulations of an isolated Michaelis-Menten enzyme reaction on two-dimensional lattices with varying obstacle densities, as models of biological membranes. The model predicts that, as a result of anomalous diffusion ...
متن کاملShort distance correlations in fractal aggregates : numerical simulations and SANS experiments on silica aerogels
The scattering function S(q) has been computed for simulated fractal aggregates using off-lattice cluster-cluster models. The curve log S(q) versus logq goes through a broad minimum followed by damped oscillations at large q values. These simulations are compared with experimental SANS results on colloidal silica aerogels. The agreement between simulations and experiments is qualitatively good....
متن کاملModels, Simulations, and Experiments
I discuss the difference between models, simulations, and experiments from an epistemological and an ontological perspective. I first distinguish between ‘static’ models (like a map) and ‘dynamic’ models endowed with the capacity to generate processes. Only the latter can be used to simulate. I then criticise the view according to which the difference between models/simulations and experiments ...
متن کاملContact Kinetics in Fractal Macromolecules.
We consider the kinetics of first contact between two monomers of the same macromolecule. Relying on a fractal description of the macromolecule, we develop an analytical method to compute the mean first contact time for various molecular sizes. In our theoretical description, the non-Markovian feature of monomer motion, arising from the interactions with the other monomers, is captured by accou...
