A mathematical model of amyloid fiber formation is described that is able to simply specify different rates of fiber breakage at internal versus end regions. This Note presents the derivation of the relevant equations and provides results showing the dramatic effects of position biased fiber breakage on the kinetics of amyloid growth.
描述了一种淀粉样纤维形成的数学模型,该模型能够简单地指定内部区域与末端区域不同的纤维断裂速率。本注释给出了相关方程的推导,并提供了结果,表明位置偏向的纤维断裂对淀粉样蛋白生长动力学具有显著影响。
