The Reaction-Diffusion Master Equation as an Asymptotic Approximation of Diffusion to a Small Target
The reaction-diffusion master equation (RDME) has recently been used as a model for biological systems in which both noise in the chemical reaction process and diffusion in space of the reacting molecules is important. In the RDME space is partitioned by a mesh into a collection of voxels. There is an unanswered question as to how solutions depend on the mesh spacing. To have confidence in usin...
متن کاملUniform asymptotic approximation of diffusion to a small target.
The problem of the time required for a diffusing molecule, within a large bounded domain, to first locate a small target is prevalent in biological modeling. Here we study this problem for a small spherical target. We develop uniform in time asymptotic expansions in the target radius of the solution to the corresponding diffusion equation. Our approach is based on combining expansions of a long...
متن کاملUniform asymptotic approximation of diffusion to a small target: Generalized reaction models.
The diffusion of a reactant to a binding target plays a key role in many biological processes. The reaction radius at which the reactant and target may interact is often a small parameter relative to the diameter of the domain in which the reactant diffuses. We develop uniform in time asymptotic expansions in the reaction radius of the full solution to the corresponding diffusion equations for ...
متن کاملA convergent reaction-diffusion master equation.
The reaction-diffusion master equation (RDME) is a lattice stochastic reaction-diffusion model that has been used to study spatially distributed cellular processes. The RDME is often interpreted as an approximation to spatially continuous models in which molecules move by Brownian motion and react by one of several mechanisms when sufficiently close. In the limit that the lattice spacing approa...
متن کاملReaction-diffusion master equation, diffusion-limited reactions, and singular potentials.
To model biochemical systems in which both noise in the chemical reaction process and spatial movement of molecules is important, both the reaction-diffusion master equation (RDME) and Smoluchowski diffusion-limited reaction (SDLR) partial differential equation (PDE) models have been used. In previous work we showed that the solution to the RDME may be interpreted as an asymptotic approximation...
