Abstract

Cellular automata simulations for enzymatic reaction networks differ from other models for reaction-diffusion systems, since enzymes and metabolites have very different properties. This paper presents a model where each lattice site can can contain at most one enzyme molecule, but many metabolite molecules. The rules are constructed to conform to the Michaelis-Menten kinetics by modeling the underlying mechanism of enzymatic conversion. Different possible approaches to rule construction are presented and analyzed, and simulations are shown for single reactions and simple enzyme networks.
