Figure 5.

The simulated mixing of two ensembles, $e_1$ at the lowest phosphorylation level and $e_2$ at the highest phosphorylation level. The phosphorylation level of $e_1$, $\overline{D}(e_1,t)$ (red), and the phosphorylation level of $e_2$, $\overline{D}(e_2,t)$ (blue), are superposed with the phosphorylation level after mixing, $\overline{D}(\mathrm{mix},t)$ (black). $e_1$ and $e_2$ were mixed at $t=0$ designated by a vertical line. (a) The ratio of the concentration of KaiB over the concentration of KaiC on a monomer basis, $B_{\mathrm{T}}/C_{\mathrm{T}}$, is varied from the standard value of $B_{\mathrm{T}}/C_{\mathrm{T}}=1$. (b) The ratio of the concentration of KaiA over the concentration of KaiC on a monomer basis, $A_{\mathrm{T}}/C_{\mathrm{T}}$, is varied from the standard value of $A_{\mathrm{T}}/C_{\mathrm{T}}=2/6$. Other parameters are the same as in Fig. 3.
