Abstract

Mobile membranes with objects on surface represent a rule-based formalism involving parallelism and mobility. We use this class of mobile membranes to model the low-density lipoprotein degradation. A translation of this formalism into colored Petri nets is provided in order to analyze, using CPN Tools, some important properties of mobile membranes: reachability, boundedness, liveness, fairness. In order to show how this translation works, we translate the model of the low-density lipoprotein degradation using mobile membranes into colored Petri nets.
