Parameters of the equations

When we want to model a biological process, we first write the differential equation, each of them requires a number of constants. Without the real value of the constants the system can not make any biological sense. These entries and the call parameters are a crucial element in the mathematical model made ​​by us.

There are three principal sources for this parameters: The first one is the literature. There have been a lot of studies trying to search biological parameters such as basal rate of production, kinetic constants, Monod's constants etc. But there are so many biological systems that sometimes it is difficult find the parameters that we need.
