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.
