comment

  • Fiat dynamical boundary that distinguishes portions of diffusible and interacting particles or chemicals that are distributed within the same spatial region.

discussion

  • A kinetic boundary represents the virtual (non-spatial) segregation of dissolved chemical particpants in, say, chemical reactions as occurs, for examples, in a portion of cytoplasm, a region of cell membrane, or a portion of extracellular fluid. Thus for analytical purposes, such participants are imagined to be uniformally distributed and thoroughly intermixed as separate pools of reactants albeit with a shared spatial region of distribution. Kinetic boundaries disinguish, say, a portion of glucose and a portion of G6P that exist in a cell's cytoplasm that are superimposed in a macroscopic space while individual molecules are spatially discrete on a molecular scale.
