GFP Band: Dimensionless Model

1. Dimensionless Species

We nondimensionalized all species occurring in the equations for the GFP band circuit.

2. Dimensionless Equations

The dimensionless equations for the dynamics of the band-generating system then read

3. Steady State

4. Dimensionless Groupings

The equation system can be simplified by introducing the following dimensionless groupings:

This yields the final equations for steady state:

Gradient Approximation

We derived the gradient formation dynamics analytically already in the reaction-diffusion model. However, there we only solved the resulting partial differential equation numerically. Here, we are going to venture forth and give a suitable analytical approximation!
