Model Overview

This is the model for the Core Domains Example as described in ....

Biological schematic of the Core Domains Model. The membrane is depolarized at t=50 (voltage graph shown, scale is mV), resulting in calcium influx (trace shown in µM) through L-type calcium channels (electrophysiology). The channels are sensitive to pH and [ATP], both of which are influenced by myosin ATPase reaction (metabolism). Calcium activates calmodulin and calcineurin (trace of ratio of active calcineurin-calmodulin complex shown), leading to NFAT cycling (signaling). NFAT (trace shown in nM) is a transcription factor for a sample ‘device’ (synthetic biology) resulting in mRNA production that is translated outside the nucleus to form a GFP signal (trace shown in nM), which increases as the membrane is depolarized.
