MWC, GMWC (Generalized MWC Arrows) | Reference Home |
GMWC[kcat,n,c,L,K] is an uninstantiated function that encapsulates the parameters used in the Generalized Monod-Wyman-Changeux Model.
The functions MWC and GMWC can be use interchangeably, however, it is recommended for notebook clarity that MWC be used when the traditional model is used and GMWC be used when the generalized model is used.
