Circadian rhythms

 
AIM: to model the positive feedback loop that creates Circadian rhythms – the daily pattern of waking and sleeping.
 
BACKGROUND: Our daily pattern of sleeping and waking is driven by a positive feedback loop consisting of molecular interactions. The details of this are complex and so for the purposes of this assignment we will look at a simplified model that captures the key elements of the feedback process:

The process is driven by the daily cycle of daylight and darkness.
During darkness hours a TIMER protein is produced by CYCLE proteins.

These TIMER proteins then bind to CYCLE proteins to produce TIMER-CYCLE conjugates.

During daylight hours there is a photo-degradation of TIMER proteins (and hence the number of TIMER-CYCLE conjugates is also reduced).

 
TASKS:

Create a set of 3 coupled rate equations that describe the time dependent change in the number of TIMER, CYCLE and TIMER-CYCLE molecules. These equations will involve the following rate constants:

kTim – TIMER production coefficient
kTimCyc – TIMER-CYCLE production coefficient
kLight – TIMER degradation coefficient

Create a sequence of time steps in your code and an associated sequence of light intensity that mimics the daily on/off pattern of daylight. Extend this time series over a 96 hour period. Plot out the time dependence of your daylight variable.
Loop through each time step and at each time point calculate the number of TIMER, CYCLE and TIMER-CYCLE molecules, using the 3 rate equations you have constructed. [NOTE: the rate equations give the CHANGE in number]. Start your simulation during the dark part of the cycle with the following initial parameters: TIMER number = 50; CYCLE number = 1000; TIMER-CYCLE number = 0.
Plot out the time dependent variation in TIMER, CYCLE and TIMER-CYCLE, on the same plot.
Tune the values of your rate constants to produce a repeatable, daily oscillation in the values of each of the molecular populations and hence mimic the Circadian rhythm. Plot out your results. [NOTE: you will need to think carefully about a logical approach to this, an approach of just guessing the parameter values is unlikely to work].

By saying “the perfect writer” we mean the one having an academic degree in the customer’s study field and positive feedback from other customers.
  2. Free Revisions

    We keep the quality bar of all papers high. But in case you need some extra brilliance to the paper, here’s what to do. First of all, you can choose a top writer. It means that we will assign an expert with a degree in your subject. And secondly, you can rely on our editing services. Our editors will revise your papers, checking whether or not they comply with high standards of academic writing. In addition, editing entails adjusting content if it’s off the topic, adding more sources, refining the language style, and making sure the referencing style is followed.
  3. Confidentiality / 100% No Disclosure

    We make sure that clients’ personal data remains confidential and is not exploited for any purposes beyond those related to our services.
