package affectors; import main.Globals; import main.Node; /** This is the one half of a dimerization where both undimerized Nodes reside in the same cell. The undimerized Nodes can be either cytoplasmic or membrane bound. Use this affector in the dimerized Node. Use the A version in the undimerized Nodes. The node_scale (max) for each of the dimer is the scaling factor for the singleton to which it is most dis-similar.

Formula
dDIMER/dt = r * max * SINGLE_NODE1 * SINGLE_NODE2

Parameters
Membrane Node [SINGLE_NODE1] One of the undimerized Nodes
Cytoplasmic Node [SINGLE_NODE2] The other of the undimerized Nodes
Dimerization rate [r_DIMER] The rate of the dimerization reaction.
Maximum Cyto [max] The maximum relative concentration of the undimerized Node which is most disimilar to this one.

Usage
&DIMER
