Models hydrogel/enzyme oscillator

A comprehensive model of the hydrogel/enzyme oscillator will be complex, since it must take into account the presence and transport of several chemical species, and the distributed mechanical response of the hydrogel membrane. In an earlier analysis of the present system (21,22), a highly simplified, electromechanical relay-like model of the hydrogel was considered. This simple, heuristic model, lacked any elements of hydrogel physical chemistry or transport processes between the hyArogel and the reaction compartment (Cell II).
