Overview Modeling

In our subprojects on the development of switchable aptamer sensors and on aptamer-based small-molecule sensing, we wanted to determine affinities and kinetic parameters of enzymes. For this purpose, we constructed mathematical models of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and used experimental data for parameter estimations. Thereby, we could successfully characterize affinities of switchable aptamer sensors to their targets and the switching behavior of software-designed stems. With regard to our in-vitro transcription subproject, we could test different hypotheses on the function of a polymerase based on model selection. We learned that the binding kinetics of the polymerase to its target is an important determinant for the transcription kinetics. The surprising result that increasing the concentration of the polymerase results in a hyper-linear gain of products could be mechanistically verified by a decrease of polymerase accuracy at higher ATP to polymerase ratios. In the following sections the two models shall be described.
