A Simple Model of the Glycolysis of Human Erythrocytes

This is a model for the glycolysis of human erythrocytes which takes into account ATP-synthesis and -consumption. This model is based on the model introduced in the following publications:

The model consists of seven reactions and is at the steady state.

First of all, get_stoichiometry gives a stoichiometry matrix from the given species and reactions as follows:

[11]:
numpy.array(get_stoichiometry(m.list_species(), m.reaction_rules()))
[11]:
array([[ 2., -1.,  0., -1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],

The evaluate method of ode.ODEWorld returns current fluxes of the given reactions.

ode.ODESimulator also provides a stoichiometry matrix and fluxes.

[17]:
S = numpy.array(sim.stoichiometry())
S
[17]:
array([[ 2., -1.,  0., -1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  1., -1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  1.,  1., -1.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0., -1.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 2.,  0.,  0., -1., -1.,  2., -2.,  1.],
       [-2.,  0.,  0.,  1.,  1., -1.,  1., -1.]])
[18]:
v = numpy.array(sim.fluxes())
v
[18]:
array([1.25489042, 0.76235178, 0.76235178, 1.74742906, 2.50978084,
       0.0959183 , 0.0959183 , 1.74742906])

These properties satisfy some relations at the steady state.

\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{S} \mathbf{v}\)

[19]:
numpy.isclose(dxdt, S @ v)
[19]:
array([ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True])

\(\mathbf{J} = \frac{\mathrm{d}^2}{\mathrm{d}t^2}\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{S}\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}\mathbf{v}\right) = \mathbf{S} \mathbf{E}\)

[20]:
numpy.isclose(J, S @ E)
[20]:
array([[ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True]])

Next, the ecell4.mca submodule provides useful functions for metabolic network and control analyses.

[21]:
from ecell4.mca import *

generate_full_rank_matrix gives square matrix to be full rank. In this model, 5 out of 8 reactions are independent.

[22]:
(link_matrix, kernel_matrix, independent_list) = generate_full_rank_matrix(S)
print(link_matrix)
print(kernel_matrix)
print(independent_list)
[[ 1.  0.  0.  0.  0.]
 [ 0.  1.  0.  0.  0.]

 [ 0.  0.  0.  1.  0.]
 [ 0.  0.  0.  0.  1.]
 [ 0.  0.  0. -1. -1.]]

 [-0.  -1.   1. ]
 [-0.   1.   0. ]
 [ 0.   0.   1. ]
 [ 1.   0.   0. ]
 [ 1.   0.   0. ]
 [ 0.   1.   0. ]]
[0 1 2 3 4]
[23]:
reduced_matrix = numpy.take(S, independent_list, 0)
reduced_matrix
[23]:
array([[ 2., -1.,  0., -1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  1., -1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  1.,  1., -1.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0., -1.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 2.,  0.,  0., -1., -1.,  2., -2.,  1.]])

The original stoichiometry matrix can be reproduced from these reduced matrices:

[24]:
S == link_matrix @ reduced_matrix
[24]:
array([[ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True,  True]])
[25]:
0 == S @ kernel_matrix
[25]:
array([[ True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True]])

Finally, ecell4.mca provides two functions, unscaled_control_coefficients and scaled_control_coefficients, which calculate concentration and flux control coefficients from stoichiometry and elasticity matrices.

[26]:
ccc, fcc = unscaled_control_coefficients(S, E)
print(ccc)
