Table 1.

Ranges considered for six classes of model parameters

Parameter class Estimated range Units
Rate constant for a bimolecular association reaction
10-7 – 10-5
(molecules/cell)-1·s-1
Rate constant for a unimolecular dissociation reaction
10-2 – 100
s-1
Rate constant for a phosphatase-catalyzed reaction*
10-3 – 10-1
s-1
Rate constant for a receptor trafficking step (internalization or recycling)*
10-3 – 10-1
s-1
Rate constant for endocytic degradation*
10-3 – 10-1
s-1
Protein copy number 104 – 106 molecules/cell

Processes characterized by parameter classes marked by asterisks are taken to be first-order processes.
