COMPUTER SIMULATION OF A HOLLOW-FIBER BIOREACTOR: HEPARAN REGULATED GROWTH FACTORS-RECEPTORS BINDING AND DISSOCIATION ANALYSIS

This thesis demonstrates the use of numerical simulation in predicting the behavior of proteins in a flow environment. A novel convection-diffusion-reaction computational model is first introduced to simulate fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) binding to its receptor (FGFR) on cell surfaces and regula...
