TranspMM.2sided.Comp2

Model number: 0017

A two compartment Michaelis-Menten two-sided transporter model. Two versions are included:
1. Cis-side driven: Concentration A1 determines the fractional saturation, PS/PSmax.
2. Cis-trans driven: Governing concentration is the average of B1 and B2.

Detailed Description

This model has two versions, one with solute A, and the other with solute B. This is a facilitated transporter kinetic model assuming instantaneous solute binding do a transporter of Michaelis-Menten type, with a single site available from either side of the membrane. The primary focus is on A, which has only a single side available to it. However, the version with B has a two sided viewpoint, solute B can bind to either side of the transporter site. Both A and B are plotted, showing the difference in concentrations when either side of the transporter can be bound to. As a reference model for solute B, the governing concentration is the average of B1 and B2.

Relevant Equations

One-Sided Version


Where V1 and V2 are the volumes of the two compartments, A1 and A2 are the concentrations respectively, Vmax is the max flux at 100% saturation, Km is the equilibrium dissociation constant, G2 is the gulosity of V2, and PS (Permeability-Surface area product) is the single sided exchange rate between the compartments. PS is calculated using only the concentration A1(t).

Two-Sided Version

PS2 is calculated using the concentrations B1 and B2.
