Table 2. Burst size needed for detection of mode change, for a wide choice of granule sizes.

Kβ – Number of SNAREs for homotypic fusion at basal state; Kγ – Number of SNAREs for heterotypic fusion at basal state; μ/λ - effective kinetics factor; KLDc - Kullback-Leibler Divergence of secreted granule content; MGS – Mean quantal granule size; MGD - Mean number of evokedly secreted granules until detection; STDGD – standard deviation of number of granules until detection; Burst – MGD+2*STDGD
