In a single compartment with flow, substrates Xa (Xanthine) and Ua (Uric acid convert to each other.
Description
This is a one compartment model with flow and a reaction. In the absence of flow or other reactions (with no back reaction) the situration modeled is a "Progres" experiment as Xa converts to Ua. The file contains a data set on the conversion of Xanthine to Uric Acid taken from Escribano et al 1988. The program includes a back reaction, Uric Acid to Xanthine. Optimizing on Flow, the initial concentration of Xanthine, and the two reaction rates sets both flow and the backwards reaction rate to zero. The plots of the data and the model curves show that this model does not describe the measurements. The reaction rate appears to be too fast initially and too slow later. The misfitting relegates the first order reaction model used here to the dustbin. See models 320, 321, 322, 323, 324.
