Construct a linear dynamic model of biochemical processes using the law of mass action
After this lecture, you should be able to:
- Describe the law of mass action and explain how it can be used to model biochemical processes.
- Explain the concept of a dynamic model and give examples of dynamic models in human metabolism.
- Provide the differential equations when given a reaction network, using the law of mass action.
- Use Euler’s method to numerically solve a first-order ordinary differential equation.
- Explain strategies to improve the accuracy of Euler’s method.
