Abstract:Abstract. We present a mathematical model for the phototransduction cascade, taking into account the spatial localization of the different reaction processes. The geometric complexity of the problem (set in the rod outer segment) is simplified by a process of homogenization and concentration of capacity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
