Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility01:34

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

3.5K
Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

179
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

253
Mechanistic models, a category encompassing both physiological and compartmental modeling, differ from empirical models' approaches to incorporating known factors about the systems being modeled. Empirical models describe data with minimal assumptions, while mechanistic models aim to provide a robust description of available data by specifying assumptions and integrating known factors about the system. Compartmental analysis is a key example of a mechanistic model in pharmacokinetics and...

Convolution: Math, Graphics, and Discrete Signals

In any LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) system, the convolution of two signals is denoted using a convolution operator, assuming all initial conditions are zero. The convolution integral can be divided into two parts: the zero-input or natural response and the zero-state or forced response, with t0 indicating the initial time.
To simplify the convolution integral, it is assumed that both the input signal and impulse response are zero for negative time values. The graphical convolution process...

Classification of Systems-II

Continuous-time systems have continuous input and output signals, with time measured continuously. These systems are generally defined by differential or algebraic equations. For instance, in an RC circuit, the relationship between input and output voltage is expressed through a differential equation derived from Ohm's law and the capacitor relation,

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Mathematical Biology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Turing's pattern theory explains morphogenesis through chemical interactions (morphogens).
  • Existing models often use reaction-diffusion equations, but integrating cell behavior is complex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a hybrid discrete-continuum modeling framework for cellular pattern formation via the Turing mechanism.
  • To combine stochastic individual-based cell models with reaction-diffusion systems for morphogens.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a hybrid model coupling individual cell dynamics (movement, proliferation) with a reaction-diffusion system for morphogen concentrations.
  • Investigated models with activator-inhibitor systems and cell responses like chemotaxis and chemically-controlled proliferation.
  • Analyzed both static and growing spatial domains.

Main Results:

  • The hybrid model successfully generated cellular patterns consistent with Turing pre-patterns.
  • A strong quantitative agreement was observed between the stochastic individual-based model and its deterministic continuum limit for large cell numbers.
  • The framework was validated on static and growing domains.

Conclusions:

  • The developed hybrid discrete-continuum framework provides a robust method for studying Turing-mechanism-driven pattern formation.
  • This approach offers a powerful tool for future research into specific morphogenetic processes.
  • The model's accuracy in predicting spatial patterns supports its utility in developmental biology.
