Prototypes of parameter notations in the original Bentele’s model are listed in Additional file 1: Table 1S. Abbreviations used in the table represent МA – mass action kinetics and M-M – Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The column with rates includes rate orders for the fast/reduced activation scenarios.
