✦ Synopsis

Two enzymes, cross-coupled through their respective products, are m e m b r a n e -b o u n d and thereby separated from each other. The cross-coupling is of opposite character and diffusion limited, i.e. an activation-inhibition couple with a diffusion-induced time-lag. I n this paper an integral representation for the solutions of the dynamic equations is developed using the Green's function technique, and an application to morphological changes in the mitochrondrion is discussed.
