Pathways modeling

Probably the most well-known pathway to exemplify the occurrence of complex dynamics in metabolic networks is the glycolytic pathway of yeast. Arguably one of the most modeled pathways ever, minimal models of yeast glycolysis were studied since the 1960s [94, 273, 305 308] and give rise to a rich spectrum of... 

Guidance on how to study metabolic pathways is given using glycolysis as a model pathway. 

Glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle are used as model pathways to illustrate the processes. 

Delgado et aL recently demonstrated that time-scale separation is an effective way to localize metabolic control to only a few enzymes. They considered model pathways in which the eigenvalues of the Jacobian of the system are widely separated (i.e., systems with time-scale separation). Their treatment assumes the system possesses a unique, asymptotically stable steady-state and that the reaction steps of the system under analysis are...

While it is important and informative to create individual databases, the complexity of modeling pathways requires that individual databases be integrated or networked. Bader and Enright (2005) asked the question What would we want to know from an ideal cell biological experiment and then provided their answer ... 

Scheme 6. Reaction pathways for the ORR in acid medium for three different adsorption modes, the Griffith adsorption model (pathway 1), the Pauling adsorption model (pathway 2) and a bridged adsorption model (pathway 3).

Despite these findings, the pathophysiological mechanisms by which AA induce renal interstitial fibrosis remain hypothetic. In the Wistar rat model, pathways leading to interstitial fibrosis seem to be independent of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), as suggested by experiments where functional and structural renal impairments were not modified eifher...

Conceptual Model/Pathway Screening Define applicable risk concerns based on the evaluation of contaminated areas (i.e., sources), transport mechanism and locations where exposure to contamination may occur (i.e., receptors). 

The fundamental aspects of the Walhorsky mechanism are an A-model pathway R and a competing pathway X. The rest is unsupported and superfluous. 

For cyclopropyl, vinyl, aryl, and other unsatu-rated systems, ideal D-modcl calculations fail in one of two ways (Sections 7.2.9-7.2.11). (a) If it is assumed that r = 10 7 s (experimental value for typical alkyl halides), then much more isomerization is calculated than observed, (b) If tr is adjusted to lit the data, then unrealistically small values sometimes result. One possible explanation is that a pathway X competes with a D-model pathway R.

A model pathway of ion-pairing mechanisms can be shown on the above-mentioned, dually acting carbon paste binder tricresyl phosphate (TCP) as an example. This mixture of isomers is commercially available and, in electroanalysis with CPEs, an already well-established pasting liquid.Abbreviating the o,wi,p-dimethylbenzene groups by Ar , the process can be described by Eqs. (5.13a) and (5.13b) ...
