The percentage of parameter sets generating a bistable system is described for Inline graphic as in Table 1, but classified according to the ratio of Inline graphic to the total substrate concentration, Inline graphic. Notice that for a ratio Inline graphic no bistability is found without scaffold. That is, whenever Inline graphic we found that bistability is only possible in this model after the addition of a scaffold.
