title: Wavenumber distribution in Hopf-wave instability: the reversible Selkov model of glycolytic oscillation.
abstract: We have investigated the short-wave instability due to Hopf bifurcation in a reaction-diffusion model of glycolytic oscillations. Very low values of the ratio d of the diffusion coefficient of the inhibitor (ATP) and that of the activator (ADP) do help to create short waves, whereas high values of the ratio d and the complexing reaction of the activator ADP reduces drastically the wave-instability domain, generating much longer wavelengths.
