Simulation of the non-linear protein translation model. Simulation of the non-linear protein translation model with parameters k₁ = 2, k₂ = 2, k₃ = 5, k₄ = 0.1, [40S]₀ = 100, [60S]₀ = 25, [eIF4F]₀ = 6. a) and b) chemical species concentrations at logarithmic and linear scales; c) and d) reaction fluxes at logarithmic and linear scales. By the dashed line several stages are delimited during which the dynamics can be considered as (pseudo-)linear. To determine where ">>" and "<<" conditions are violated, we arbitrarily consider "much bigger" or "much smaller" as difference in one order of magnitude (by factor 10).
