Role of complexing agents in the appearance of Turing patterns

In this paper we study a four-species reaction-diffusion system where Turing patterns are stabilized by the presence of fast reversible reactions between the morphogens and two different mobile complexing agents (CAs) that are not necessarily in excess. We provide a quantitative explanation of how t...
