  • Title: Mitochondrial energetic metabolism: a simplified model of TCA cycle with ATP production.
    Author: Nazaret C, Heiske M, Thurley K, Mazat JP.
    Journal: J Theor Biol; 2009 Jun 07; 258(3):455-64. PubMed ID: 19007794.
    Abstract:
    Mitochondria play a central role in cellular energetic metabolism. The essential parts of this metabolism are the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the respiratory chain and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis machinery. Here a simplified model of these three metabolic components with a limited set of differential equations is presented. The existence of a steady state is demonstrated and results of numerical simulations are presented. The relevance of a simple model to represent actual in vivo behavior is discussed.
