Extending the quasi-steady state approximation by changing variables

J A Borghans et al. Bull Math Biol. 1996 Jan.

Abstract

The parameter domain for which the quasi-steady state assumption is valid can be considerably extended merely by a simple change of variable. This is demonstrated for a variety of biologically significant examples taken from enzyme kinetics, immunology and ecology.
