Mathematical model of fructan biosynthesis and polymer length distribution in…

† Background and Aims: There are many unresolved issues concerning the biochemistry of fructan biosynthesis. The aim of this paper is to address some of these by means of modelling mathematically the biochemical processes. † Methods: Amodel has been constructed for the step-by-step synthesis of fructan polymers. This is run until a steady state is achieved for which a polymer distribu…
