Popis: An anticipatory system has been modeled using the dynamic characteristics of cellular automata. Rules governing the steps in an enzymatic conversion of substrates to products are operative in the system. A concentration of an intermediate product influences the creation of a supplemental enzyme that enhances the competence of an enzyme down stream. This anticipation of the future event creates a condition in which the concentration of a later substrate is suppressed, a property characteristic of the system. The model presents a useful opportunity to study a variety of aspects of this fascinating phenomena.
