TITLE decay of internal calcium concentration : : Internal calcium concentration due to calcium currents and pump. : Differential equations. : : Simple model of ATPase pump with 3 kinetic constants (Destexhe 92) : Cai + P <-> CaP -> Cao + P (k1,k2,k3) : A Michaelis-Menten approximation is assumed, which reduces the complexity : of the system to 2 parameters: : kt = * k3 -> TIME CONSTANT OF THE PUMP : kd = k2/k1 (dissociation constant) -> EQUILIBRIUM CALCIUM VALUE : The values of these parameters are chosen assuming a high affinity of : the pump to calcium and a low transport capacity (cfr. Blaustein, : TINS, 11: 438, 1988, and references therein). : : Units checked using "modlunit" -> factor 10000 needed in ca entry : : VERSION OF PUMP + DECAY (decay can be viewed as simplified buffering) : : All variables are range variables : : : This mechanism was published in: Destexhe, A. Babloyantz, A. and : Sejnowski, TJ. Ionic mechanisms for intrinsic slow oscillations in : thalamic relay neurons. Biophys.
