FIGURE 9

Dominance of intrinsic or extrinsic noise. CV(μ, X)2 of the number of proteins of ungated cells (circles) and that of gated cells (crosses) are plotted as functions of NX(μ). Intrinsic noise is dominant in gated cells to make CV(μ, X)2 roughly proportional to 1/NX(μ). Solid line has a slope of −1. The number of sampled trajectories is 100 for gated cells and 3000 for ungated cells.
