In a previous paper, we studied elementary models for polymerization, depolymerization, and fragmentation of actin filaments (Edelstein-Keshet and Ermentrout, 1988, Bull. Math. Biol. 60, 449-475). When these processes act together, more complicated dynamics occur. We concentrate on a particular case study, using the actin-fragmenting protein gelsolin. A set of biological parameter values (drawn from the experimental literature) is used in computer simulations of the kinetics of gelsolin-mediated actin filament fragmentation.
在之前的一篇论文中,我们研究了肌动蛋白丝聚合、解聚和断裂的基本模型(埃德尔斯坦 - 凯谢特和厄门特劳特,1988年,《数学生物学公报》60卷,449 - 475页)。当这些过程共同作用时,会出现更复杂的动力学。我们专注于一个特定的案例研究,使用肌动蛋白切割蛋白凝溶胶蛋白。一组生物学参数值(取自实验文献)被用于计算机模拟凝溶胶蛋白介导的肌动蛋白丝断裂动力学。
