Ca2+ shells diffusion is defined as follows:
Code: Select all
KINETIC state {
COMPARTMENT i, diam*diam*vol[ i ] {ca CaBuffer Buffer}
}
- How does the COMPARTMENT statement work?
- Why there is diam^2?
- What is its relation to the volume?
- if shell_volume=diam*diam*vol[ i ] -> does the rate constant f[ i ] is divided by the shell_volume on each time step?
Code: Select all
PROCEDURE factors() {
LOCAL r, dr2 r
r = 1/2 : starts at edge (half diam)
: [...]
}
I would be very glad for your help because that part in the book is a little bit confusing for me.
