About this model
====================

This is a Functional Cell Unit for adenylyl cyclase metabolism in the cardiac cell.

Model status
=============

The current CellML implementation runs in OpenCOR.

Model overview
===================
All components are presented in `bond-graph` form.
Components are made by converting an existing kinetic model and translating into bond-graph form.

A description of the process to find bond-graph parameter is shown in the folder    `parameter_finder <parameter_finder>`_, which relies on:

1. stoichiometry of system

2. kinetic constants for forward/reverse reactions
  
  - If not already, all reactions are made reversible by assigning a small value to the reverse  direction.
  
3. linear algebra script. Here, this solver is performed in Python.


Modular description
===================

Components
----------

CellML divides the mathematical model into distinct components, which are able to be re-used in other composite models.
These CellML components are:

- `:math:{\beta}-1 adrenergic receptor ( :math:{\beta} 1AR) <https://models.physiomeproject.org/workspace/6f7>`_
- `Gs Protein <https://models.physiomeproject.org/workspace/6f8>`_
- `muscarinic receptor (M2) <https://models.physiomeproject.org/workspace/707>`_
- `Gi Protein <https://models.physiomeproject.org/workspace/6f9>`_
- `cyclic AMP (cAMP) <https://models.physiomeproject.org/workspace/674>`_

Each of these blocks is itself a CellML model, complete with bond-graph parameters appropriate for the isolated system.
