Glycolysis: Study Oscillations in Yeast Cells

Glycolytic oscillations in yeast cells of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a well-studied phenomenon. This example simulates the oscillations near a so-called Hopf bifurcation. Changing a parameter slightly around the bifurcation point qualitatively changes the behavior of the system.

To run this example, you'll need

The latest versions of System Modeler and Mathematica.
