Title: New member Post by: jdebord on October 10, 2011, 04:08:31 PM Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum. I am interested in fractals, both for hobby and professional reasons (fractal kinetics). My modest contribution (yet another Mandelbrot explorer): http://www.unilim.fr/pages_perso/jean.debord/panoramic/panomand.zip (http://www.unilim.fr/pages_perso/jean.debord/panoramic/panomand.zip) Best regards, jdebord Title: Re: New member Post by: Madman on October 10, 2011, 08:06:32 PM Hi Jean,
Welcome to the forums! I'm curious in what way you are using fractal kinetics in your profession. Title: Re: New member Post by: jdebord on October 11, 2011, 10:01:42 AM Hello Madman, My work is mainly an application of a model developed by Brouers and Sotolongo: http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0508449 (http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0508449) I have applied it to a study of enzyme inhibition by metals. Considering that the protein surface has a fractal structure, the metal can bind to a variety of sites. This yields a statistical distribution of rate constants, from which the Brouers-Sotolongo model can be derived. I have also applied a variant of the model (eq. 2 in the cited publication) to the pharmacokinetics of methotrexate (an anticancer drug). At this time, I have only published a FreeBASIC program to fit the model : http://www.unilim.fr/pages_perso/jean.debord/articles/hillfrac.bas (http://www.unilim.fr/pages_perso/jean.debord/articles/hillfrac.bas) |
