Table 2.

Forward and backward rate constant values used in simulation. k_nu,1 is the forward rate constant value for the first reaction during the Stage I, and rest of the forward rate constants are computed based on Stokes–Einstein equation (Eq. (13)). For each simulation these combinations of k_nu,1, and the backward rate constant, k_nu− were fixed.
