Metabolite-enzyme model

From PBDN

In a chemical model, there can be any number of species and reactions. In the metabolite-enzyme model used in this project, there are four species:

Metabolite A, denoted $A$
Metabolite B, denoted $A$
Enzyme A, denoted $e A$
Enzyme B, denoted $e B$

These four species interact with each other and the surrounding cellular "soup" according to 9 different reactions. Exactly one reaction occurs at each timestep. The likelihood of a each reaction occurring is given by simple equations involving reaction constants and the current numbers of each species. The 9 reactions are:

Creation of one new molecule of $A$ from the soup
Creation of one new molecule of $B$ from the soup
Creation of one new molecule of $e A$ from the soup
Creation of one new molecule of $e B$ from the soup
Disappearance of one molecule of of $A$ into the soup
Disappearance of one molecule of of $B$ into the soup
Disappearance of one molecule of of $e A$ into the soup
Disappearance of one molecule of of $e B$ into the soup
Disappearance of one molecule of of $A$ and one of $B$ into the soup
