Description:
5-Fluorouracil (5_FU) is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug and tratogen that was chosen as a prototypic toxicant to contruct a biologically based dose-resonse (BBDR) model (Setzer et. al., 2001). Part of the BBDR model simulates the inhibition of thymidylate synthetase (TS), and esential enzyme for DNA synthesis. TS methylates deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) to form thymidine monophosphate (dTMP). A metabolite of 5-FU, fluorode
