Models a two compartment, 1 solute, T1-T2 (facilitated 4-state transporter. Includes binding steps and transmembrane flip rates for free and occupied transporters.

Description

1solComp2 pic1

The model is a saturable four state transporter with a binding site on both sides of the membrane for 1 solute in a two compartment model. The binding site undergoes a conformational change, flipping from side 1 to side 2 and back again when it is empty (T1<->T2) or filled (TA1<->TA2).

where
Surf is the surface area of the membrane,  
V1 is the volume of compartment 1,  
V2 is the volume of compartment 2,  
KdA1 and KdA2 are equilibrium dissociation constants,  
konA1 and konA2 are the on rate constants,  
koffA1 and koffA2 are the off rate constants,  
KT12 is the flip rate for the empty transporter from side 1 to side 2,  
KT21 is the flip rate for the empty transporter from side 2 to side 1,  
KTA12 is the flip rate for the filled transporter from side 1 to side 2,   and
KTA21 is the flip rate for the filled transporter from side 2 to side 1.

WARNING: An additional thermodynamic constraint is not included in the model. For a passive transporter, the transport rate constants should satisfy the following constraint:
