About this model
====================
This is a bond graph model of beta-1 adrenergic receptor ( :math:`{\beta}` 1AR) metabolism in the cardiac cell.
**INPUTS:**
- Ligand (L) stimulus e.g. isoproterenol
**OUTPUTS:**
- Change in molar amount of :math:`{\beta}` 1AR (R),
**REACTIONS:**
- Phosphorylation of :math:`{\beta}` 1AR by :math:`{\beta}` ARK
- Phosphorylation of :math:`{\beta}` 1AR by PKACI
Model status
=============
The current CellML implementation runs in OpenCOR.
Model overview
===================
This model is made by from an existing kinetic model, and translating the mathematics into the bond-graph formalism.
The creation of LR and LRG species are not included in this module. See the `module for L, R, and G binding for these. <https://models.physiomeproject.org/workspace/6f7>`_

Parameter finding
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A description of the process to find bond-graph parameter is shown in the folder `parameter_finder <parameter_finder>`_, which relies on the:
1. stoichiometry of system
2. kinetic constants for forward/reverse reactions
- If not already, all reactions are made reversible by assigning a small value to the reverse direction.
3. `linear algebra script <https://models.physiomeproject.org/workspace/6ba/file/c32be022513dc4b620d74803a6ace6ca2d817e11/parameter_finder/find_BG_parameters.py>`_.
Here, this solve process is performed in Python.
