Modelling temperature dependent degradation of GAP and DHAP

SysMO is a European transnational funding and research initiative on "Systems Biology of Microorganisms".

The goal pursued by SysMO is to record and describe the dynamic molecular processes going on in unicellular microorganisms in a comprehensive way and to present these processes in the form of computerized mathematical models.

Systems biology will raise biomedical and biotechnological research to a new quality level and contribute markedly to progress in understanding. Pooling European research ...

Silicon cell model for the central carbohydrate metabolism of the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus under temperature variation

An investigation in the CCM of S. solfataricus with a focus on the unique temperature adaptations and regulation; using a combined modelling and experimental approach.

Mathematical model of a subset of reactions comprising the three most temperature sensitive intermediates of the gluconeogenic pathway in S. solfataricus

GAP concentrations were measured over time at 70C.

DHAP concentrations were measured over time at 70C.

A time simulation of the mathematical model is shown together with the experimental data to which the model was fitted.

An exponential decay model was fitted to the experimental data set of GAP degradation at 70C. The model is uploaded as an SBML file. A data file showing the model fit to the experimental data set is included. The rate constant for GAP degradation at 70C was estimated to be 0.056 1/min, equivalent to a half life time of 12.4 min.

An exponential decay model was fitted to the experimental data set of DHAP degradation at 70C. The model is uploaded as an SBML file. A data file showing the model fit to the experimental data set is included. The rate constant for DHAP degradation at 70C was estimated to be 0.0225 1/min, equivalent to a half life time of 30.8 min.
