摘要:
Under particular in vitro conditions, oscillating spatial and temporal waves of assembled microtubules can be observed. A reaction-diffusion model is presented to reproduce these results. This model is based on a set of chemical reaction equations and extended to include spatial dependence and diffusion. The basic properties of the model are presented and the results are demonstrated to connect the observable waves with turbidimetric measurements. The results of the model are consistent with experimental findings, [S1063-651X(99)05307-6].
