Hi All,
Please bear with me as I am not from a biological or chemical background. I am trying to mathematically model pH regulation in a biological cell. For this, I want to know whether : H+, CO2, HCO3 and lactate decay as time proceeds, so that I can include a decay term for each differential equation. I have been looking in the litreture for their half-life values but didn't get standard ones that are in a normal functioning cell.
Is the half life for a substance inside the cell different than that outside? Is there even data available to account for intra- and extracellular- half-lives?
Any guide or reference is much appreciated.
