    $\displaystyle - \alpha_{f} r_\mathrm{free} m_{\mathrm{mem}} + \alpha_{r} r_\mathrm{bound}$  
$\displaystyle \dot{d}_{\mathrm{EM}}=$   $\displaystyle - \delta^{d}_{\mathrm{EM}} {d}_{\mathrm{EM}} + \gamma n d_{\mathrm{mem}}$  
$\displaystyle \dot{d}_{\mathrm{mem}}=$   $\displaystyle - \delta^{d}_\mathrm{{mem}} {d}_{\mathrm{mem}} - \gamma n d_{\mathrm{mem}} + \sigma_{d}$  
$\displaystyle \dot{n}=$ $\displaystyle D_{n} \Delta {n}$ $\displaystyle - \delta_{n} n + \sigma_{n}$  
$\displaystyle \dot{r}_\mathrm{free}=$   $\displaystyle - \delta^{r}_{\mathrm{free}} r_\mathrm{free} - \alpha_{f} r_\mathrm{free} m_{\mathrm{mem}} + \alpha_{r} r_\mathrm{bound}+ \sigma_{r}$  
$\displaystyle \dot{r}_\mathrm{bound}=$   $\displaystyle - \delta^{r}_{\mathrm{bound}} r_\mathrm{bound} + \alpha_{f} r_\mathrm{free} m_{\mathrm{mem}} - \alpha_{r} r_\mathrm{bound}$  
$\displaystyle \frac{\partial m_{\mathrm{EM}}}{\partial x} \left( x=0 \right) =$   $\displaystyle - \nu$  
$\displaystyle {d}_{\mathrm{mem}}(t=0)=$   $\displaystyle \sigma_d/\delta^{d}_\mathrm{mem}$  
$\displaystyle {r}_\mathrm{free}(t=0)=$   $\displaystyle \sigma_r/ \delta^{r}_\mathrm{free}$  

Unspecified boundary conditions are zero-flux conditions, and unspecified initial conditions are 0.
