Assignment:
1)implement a python function that calculates the concentrations of the
metabolites in steady state depending on the parameter values.
2) To make the substrate inhibition of the HK-PFK system less cooperative,
set n H = 1. To which value must the parameter kHK − PFK be changed in
order to maintain the same steady state as with the standard parameters?
3) Vary the rate constant of the ATP consumption k ATPase systematically
and plot the stationary ATP concentration once as a function of the parameter
itself and once as a function of the ATP consumption rate vATPase for both
model variants.
4) Plot the steady state glycolytic flow (J = v HK − PFK) as a function of the
parameter k ATPase.
5) Calculate the flux control coefficient for the glycolytic flow J = v HK −
PFK and the concentration control coefficient for the metabolites ATP and
P23G for both model variants. Interpret the results.
