The effect of receptor clustering on the diffusion-limited forward rate constant (k+) is studied theoretically by modeling cell surface receptors by hemispheres distributed on a plane. We give both exact results and bounds. The exact results are obtained using an electrostatic analogue and applying the method of the images. Accurate upper bounds on k+ are found from a variational principle.
通过将细胞表面受体模拟为分布在平面上的半球体,从理论上研究了受体聚集对扩散限制正向速率常数(k+)的影响。我们给出了精确结果和边界。精确结果是通过使用静电类比并应用镜像法获得的。通过变分原理找到了k+的精确上限。
