From reaction kinetics to dementia: A simple dimer model of Alzheimer’s disease etiology
Fig 5
A: the excess monomer production is taken to be spherically symmetric. The distance (x−axis) denotes the distance from the center of the source. The dashed circle/lines represent the boundary where excess monomer production ceases. B: monomer and dimer concentrations, and monomer production rate, versus distance from center. These values have been nondimensionalized by ,
, and
, respectively. C: viability at various ages plotted against position.
