Table 2 Protein metabolism - equations.

From: Long-term prediction of fish growth under varying ambient temperature using a multiscale dynamic model

State variables

 

a(t) = (a a , a p , a b , p a )T

 

a a = amino acids in the free AA pool

 

a p = amino acids channeled to protein synthesis

 

a b = amino acids channeled to catabolism

 

p a = tissue protein given by its amino acid composition

 

u aa = 20 amino acids that are recieved from the feed (input variable)

 

State equations

 

= -k aa a a - U ps k p a a + u aa

k aa = 1/s

= U ps k p a a - v s (t)a p + f p v d (t)p a

k p = 1/s

= k aa a a + f t v d (t)p a - ab, cat

 

= v s (t)a p - v d (t)p a
