title: Simple model for temperature control of glycolytic oscillations.
abstract: We introduce the temperature-dependent autocatalytic coefficient into the Merkin-Needham-Scott version of the Selkov system and consider the resulting equations as a model for temperature-controlled, self-sustained glycolytic oscillations in a closed reactor. It has been shown that this simple model reproduces key features observed in the experiments with temperature growth: (i) exponentially decreasing period of oscillations; (ii) reversal of relative duration leading and tail fronts. The applied model also reproduces the modulations of oscillations induced by the periodic temperature change.
