Small perturbations (blue zone) away from the stable steady state (red dot) are immediately damped out (short arrows), but larger perturbations, beyond the threshold (dashed line), generate transient activation of p53. What do you expect will happen if this p53–Mdm2 control system is continually buffeted by stochastic fluctuations?
