Computational Model of the Insect Pheromone Transduction Cascade
Figure 8
Comparison of dose-response characteristic of predicted and observed SPs.
(A) Height. (B) Rising time τrise. (C) Falling time τfall. (D) Definition of these characteristics shown on SP response to a 2-s square pulse at pheromone uptake U = 10−4 µM/s. Characteristics of predicted SP (solid red lines) compared to those of observed SP (dashed blue lines) at 26 uptakes from 10−4.75 µM/s to 32 µM/s. Characteristics of predicted RP are also shown (dashed red lines). Experimental data by courtesy of K.-E. Kaissling (see [23],[30]).
