Fig. 5.
Effect of malonyl-CoA dissociation constant (K1) on system dynamic behavior. Malonyl-CoA dissociation constants (K1) have been labelled with different color. Low dissociation constants (K1 = 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0) lead to stable oscillation. High dissociation constant (K1 = 4.0) leads to damped oscillation. Medium strength of malonyl-CoA inhibition (K1 = 2.0) favors fatty acids production.
