β¦ Synopsis
A model for microtubule oscillations is presented based on a set of chemical reaction equations. The rate constants for these reactions are largely determined from experimental data. The plots of assembled tubulin and the phase diagram for assembly are compared with the experimental findings and are found to agree quite well.

## Abstract The kinetics of a detailed chemically reacting system can potentially be very complex. Although the chemist may be interested in only a few species, the reaction model almost always involves a much larger number of species. Some of those species are radicals, which are very reactive spe
Water forms three-dimensional polymeric structures due to the influence of hydrogen bonds and is fundamentally different from other substances. One of the simplest ways to analyze the structure of water in any system, such as hydration, is to measure the degree of compressibility, which can be deter
We propose a model of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) describing the varying concentrations of pools of major metabolites by a system of coupled nonlinear differential equations. The model shows regular oscillations in normal day night and free-running endogeneous oscillations in continuous light
