An enzyme kinetic model of blood island formation.
نویسنده
چکیده
Blood islands are conglomerations of prevascular stem cells that form during vasculogenesis, a function critical to early vascular and hematopoietic development. In this paper, a model of blood island formation is proposed employing the approach of classical enzyme kinetics. Deterministic simulations of the model show the formation of blood island-like structures. These are compared to murine blood islands.

Kinetic Investigation of Myeloperoxidase upon Interaction with Copper, Cadmium, and Lead Ions
Background: Myeloperoxidase (MPO), which is abundantly expressed in neutrophils, catalyzes the formation of a number of reactive oxidant species. However, evidence has emerged that MPO-derived oxidants contribute to tissue damage and initiation and propagation of inflammatory diseases, particularly, cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, studying the regulatory mechanisms of the enzyme activity is...
متن کاملThe Kinetics of Enzyme Mixtures
Even purified enzyme preparations are often heterogeneous. For example, preparations of aspartate aminotransferase or cytochrome oxidase can consist of several different forms of the enzyme. For this reason we consider how different the kinetics of the reactions catalysed by a mixture of forms of an enzyme must be to provide some indication of the characteristics of the species present. Based...
متن کاملFormation and coarsening of Ag(110) bilayer islands on NiAl(110): STM analysis and atomistic lattice-gas modeling
Scanning tunneling microscopy analysis of the initial stages of film growth during deposition of Ag on NiAl(110) reveals facile formation of bilayer Ag(110) islands at temperatures of 130 K and above. Annealing subsequent to deposition at 130 K induces coarsening of the bilayer island distribution. The thermodynamic driving force for bilayer island formation reflects a lower relative surface en...
متن کاملKinetic Modeling of Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Pretreated Sorghum Bicolor and Rice Husk
In this study, the hydrolysis of pretreated sorghum stem and rice husk was investigated at various initial enzyme concentrations and substrate loadings. The slowdown in enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials with conversion has often been attributed to decreasing the activity of enzyme. A kinetic model was developed and expressed mathematically based on enzyme deactivation for enzyma...
متن کاملEstimation of Kinetic Parameters of Coking Reaction Rate in Pyrolysis of Naphtha
The run length of cracking furnaces is limited by the formation of coke on the internal skin of the reactor tubes. The reaction mechanism of thermal cracking of hydrocarbons is generally accepted as free-radical chain reactions. On the basis of the plant output data and the insight in the mechanisms for coke formation in pyrolysis reactors, a kinetic model describing the coke formation has been...
