چکیده

The parameter domain for which the quasi-steady state assumption is valid can be considerably extended merely by a simple change of variable. This is demonstrated for a variety of biologically significant examples taken from enzyme kinetics, immunology and ecology.

Extending the Quasi - Steady Approximation by Changing

The classical Michaelis-Menten approximation for scheme (la) is the archetypal example for the use of the quasi-steady state (QSS) approximation. This approximation is a major simplifying step throughout biology, with its enormous range of time scales, and indeed in many other branches of science. The quasi-steady state assumption (QSSA) often yields revealing analytic formulas and it frequentl...

Optimal Pareto Parametric Analysis of Two Dimensional Steady-State Heat Conduction Problems by MLPG Method

Numerical solutions obtained by the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method are presented for two dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems. The MLPG method is a truly meshless approach, and neither the nodal connectivity nor the background mesh is required for solving the initial-boundary-value problem. The penalty method is adopted to efficiently enforce the essential boundary co...

The effects of intrinsic noise on the behaviour of bistable cell regulatory systems under quasi-steady state conditions.

We analyse the effect of intrinsic fluctuations on the properties of bistable stochastic systems with time scale separation operating under quasi-steady state conditions. We first formulate a stochastic generalisation of the quasi-steady state approximation based on the semi-classical approximation of the partial differential equation for the generating function associated with the chemical mas...

Enzyme Kinetics Far From the Standard Quasi-Steady-State and Equilibrium Approximations

Analytic approximations of the time-evolution of the single enzyme-substrate reaction are valid for all but a small region of parameter spsce in the positive initial enzyme-initial substrate concentration plane. We find velocity equations for the substrate decomposition and product formation with the aid of the total quasi-steady-state approximation and an aggregation technique for cases where ...

Rescue of the Quasi-Steady-State Approximation in a Model for Oscillations in an Enzymatic Cascade

A three-variable model describing the oscillatory activity of a cascade of enzyme reactions is analyzed. A quasi-steady-state approximation reduces the three equations to a system of two equations which admits only a stable steady state. This apparent failure of the quasi-steadystate approximation to describe the limit-cycle oscillations observed in the full, three-variable system is analyzed i...
