Mesoscopic Reaction Diffusion Simulator

Simulation of the Min-system in E. coli

MesoRD has been used to model the stochastic contribution to different mutant phenotypes in the Min-system in E. coli [1]. Visualisation of a stochastic simulation of a wild type E. coli cell is shown below. MinD on the cell membrane is shown in red and MinE in complex with MinD on the membrane is shown in blue.

Visulasation of MesoRD simulation data using MATLAB^®. For the stochastic simulations MinD molecules on the membrane are shown in red and MinE in complex with MinD on the membrane are shown in blue. For the mean-field simulation the cell is divided into a lower and upper part showing the concentrations of the intensity with the same color as above.
