Background
Our team designed three separate models to monitor behaviors of the genetics system, enzyme kinetics, and metabolism. Then they were fused into one mechanism predicting P.E.B.B.L.E’s growth.
Kinetics Model
The enzyme kinetics model describes the biochemical pathway that our bacteria have to degrade and assimilate PET plastic. Kinetics models in general use differential equations to describe the interactions between the enzymes in the metabolites, chemicals used in metabolism, and they describe the rate of change in the concentration of these metabolites. Click on the biochemical pathway in the picture to see the equations and assumptions used to describe the main metabolites in the PET degradation pathway.

how come the background won't stay blue? what happened here?
