Abstract
We report sustained oscillations in glycolysis conducted in an open system (a continuous-flow, stirred tank reactor; CSTR) with inflow of yeast extract as well as glucose. Depending on the operating conditions, we observe simple or complex periodic oscillations or chaos. We report the response of the system to instantaneous additions of small amounts of several substrates as functions of the amount added and the phase of the addition. We simulate oscillations and perturbations by a kinetic model based on the mechanism of glycolysis in a CSTR. We find that the response to particular perturbations forms an efficient tool for elucidating the mechanism of biochemical oscillations.
The SBML for this model was obtained from the BioModels database (BioModels ID: BIOMD0000000042). Biomodels notes: "Figure 9d of the paper reproduced using COPASI 4.8 (build 35)." JWS Online curation: This model was curated by reproducing the figures as described in the BioModels Notes. The following additional figures were reproduced: Figure 9A, 9B, and 9C. In order to reproduce these Figures the parameter V4m was changed from 20 mM to 10 mM. The time that is modelled is from 150 to 330 minutes rather than 0 to 180 minutes (as this is when the limit cycle is stable).
