What is a reactor?
Introduction
The CCMV capsid was considered as a continuous stirred-tank reactor with accumulation of the product.
For an enzymatic reaction of the type:
[math]\displaystyle{ E + S \leftrightarrow ES \rightarrow E^0 + P }[/math]
with a reaction rate of:
[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{d[ES]}{dt}=k_1[E][S]-k_{-1}[ES]-k_2[ES] }[/math]
We established the following in our system:
- Uniform distribution throughout the reactor
- K-1 >> K1 and K2
- One enzyme per reactor/VLP
- Tortuosity approaches zero during diffusion
Mass balance was presented as such:
INPUT = OUTPUT - DISAPPEARANCE BY REACTION + ACCUMULATION
where
Input = F0 Output = F0(1-XS) Disappearance = V(-rS Accumulation = [math]\displaystyle{ \tfrac{d[P]}{dt} }[/math]
