[Solve by hand-writing]
A reaction system has three steps: (i) A enters the system with a contant rate of k0,(ii)A is converted to B with the help of an enzyme, with parameters vmax and Km,(iii) B is converted to C chemically where no enzyme is involved, where two B molecules have to be available in the same place for the conversion to occur, with a coefficient of k1.
A
AB
2BC
The parameter values are given as follows: k0=0.5Mmin,vmax=2Mmin,Km=1M,k1=0.1M.min with M designating molar concentrations.
(a) Write the ODE based models of changes in the concentrations of A and B over time.
(b) Find the equilibrium point(s).
(c) Check if the equilibrium point(s) are stable or not.
