Hill equation, transforming a value of an effector (e.g. concentration) to a saturable function value. — hillFunction • esqlabsR

Hill equation, transforming a value of an effector (e.g. concentration) to a saturable function value.

Usage

hillFunction(x, Vmax, Km, alpha = 1)

Arguments

x: Value of the effector.
Vmax: Maximal value of the function.
Km: Value of the effector at which the value of the function is half-maximal.
alpha: Hill coefficient defining the steepness of the function. Default is 1.

Value

Vmax * x^alpha / (x^alpha + Km^alpha)
