public Metabolism()

Method Details

atpHydrolysisEnergy

public static Quantity<Energy> atpHydrolysisEnergy(Real moles)

Calculates energy released from ATP hydrolysis. ATP + H2O -> ADP + Pi

Parameters:

moles - Moles of ATP hydrolyzed

Returns:

Energy released

glycolysisAtpYield

public static Real glycolysisAtpYield(Real glucoseMoles)

Simplified Glycolysis net reaction energy. Net yield: 2 ATP per Glucose.

aerobicRespirationAtpYield

public static Real aerobicRespirationAtpYield(Real glucoseMoles)

Cellular Respiration (Aerobic) total ATP yield. Theoretical max: ~38 ATP per Glucose (~30-32 practical).

energyCharge

public static Real energyCharge(Real atpConc,
 Real adpConc,
 Real ampConc)

Energy charge of the cell. EC = ([ATP] + 0.5[ADP]) / ([ATP] + [ADP] + [AMP]) Healthy cell: 0.8 - 0.95
