In 2000, Gillespie rehabilitated the chemical Langevin equation (CLE) by describing two conditions that must be satisfied for it yield a valid approximation of the chemical master equation (CME). In this work, we construct an original path integral description of the CME, and show how applying Gillespies two conditions to it directly leads to a path integral equivalent to the CLE. We compare this approach to the path integral equivalent of a large system size derivation, and show that they are qualitatively different. In particular, both approaches involve converting many sums into many integrals, and the difference between the two methods is essentially the difference between using the Euler-Maclaurin formula and using Riemann sums. Our results shed light on how path integrals can be used to conceptualize coarse-graining biochemical systems, and are readily generalizable.
The multisite phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle is a motif repeatedly used in cell signaling. This motif itself can generate a variety of dynamic behaviors like bistability and ultrasensitivity without direct positive feedbacks. In this paper,
Systems biology and whole-cell modelling are demanding increasingly comprehensive mathematical models of cellular biochemistry. These models require the development of simplified models of specific processes which capture essential biophysical featur
The properties of molecules and materials containing light nuclei are affected by their quantum mechanical nature. Modelling these quantum nuclear effects accurately requires computationally demanding path integral techniques. Considerable success ha
Bacteria such as Escherichia coli move about in a series of runs and tumbles: while a run state (straight motion) entails all the flagellar motors spinning in counterclockwise mode, a tumble is caused by a shift in the state of one or more motors to
Untargeted metabolomic studies are revealing large numbers of naturally occurring metabolites that cannot be characterized because their chemical structures and MS/MS spectra are not available in databases. Here we present iMet, a computational tool
