Example 19.10 Systems of Differential Equations

The following is a simplified reaction scheme for the competitive inhibitors with recombinant human renin (Morelock et al. 1995).

In Output 19.10.1, E=enzyme, D=probe, and I=inhibitor.

The differential equations that describe this reaction scheme are as follows:

$\frac{d\mi {D} }{dt} = k1r{\ast }\mi {ED} - k1f {\ast }\mi {E} {\ast }\mi {D}$

$\frac{d\mi {ED} }{dt} = k1f{\ast } \mi {E} {\ast }\mi {D} - k1r{\ast }\mi {ED}$

$\frac{d\mi {E} }{dt} = k1r{\ast } \mi {ED} - k1f{\ast } \mi {E} {\ast } \mi {D} + k2r {\ast } \mi {EI} - k2f {\ast } \mi {E} {\ast }\mi {I}$

$\frac{d\mi {EI} }{dt} = k2f{\ast } \mi {E} {\ast }\mi {I} - k2r {\ast } \mi {EI}$

$\frac{d\mi {I} }{dt} = k2r{\ast } \mi {EI} - k2f {\ast } \mi {E} {\ast } \mi {I}$

For this system, the initial values for the concentrations are derived from equilibrium considerations (as a function of parameters) or are provided as known values.

The experiment used to collect the data was carried out in two ways; preincubation (type='disassoc') and no preincubation (type='assoc'). The data also contain repeated measurements. The data contain values for fluorescence F, which is a function of concentration. Since there are no direct data for the concentrations, all the differential equations are simulated dynamically.

The SAS statements used to fit this model are as follows:

This estimation requires the repeated simulation of a system of 41 differential equations (5 base differential equations and 36 differential equations to compute the partials with respect to the parameters).
