The total number of enzyme molecules per compartment is ten in all cases. Values in bold and in square brackets are those estimated by simulation; the italic values are obtained from the theoretical expressions, Eqs. (7) and (12). The parameters are: k0 = 109 s-1 M-1, k1 = k3 = 1000 s-1, k40 = 107 s-1 M-1, and [I] = 10 [ET].
