Modeling
If amount of antimicrobial peptides (here referred to as A) bacteria cell produce is increased, conversely the number of host cells (referred to as N) will be decreased because of toxicity of the peptide. We want to express this relation as model. First, we want to describe the number of host cells growing without toxicity of the peptide as the differential equation. The logistic equation is a model of population growth first published by Pierre Verhulst. The logistic model is described by the differential equation (figure.1)
where a is rate of maximum population growth and K is carrying capacity and defining b=a/K then gives the differential equation Next, we add the term of toxicity of the antimicrobial peptide to this equation and we describe amount of antimicrobial peptides in the second differential equation (figure.2) where c is rate of toxicity of the antimicrobial peptide, e is rate of expression of the antimicrobial peptide f is rate of decomposition of the antimicrobial peptide We took 1 for 3 constants (a, b, c) of the right side in the first formula using the flexibilities of the scale (In scale transformation, e, f will change into α, β) Here, we change parameter α and β value and find these graph below.
