The Origins of Time-Delay in Template Biopolymerization Processes

Figure 4

Ribosome density and protein concentration as functions of time.

Numerical simulations, at high ribosome flux, of the ribosome density () and protein concentration () as functions of time; mechanistic model (Eqs. 10, dashed line), time-delay model (Eqs. 21, solid line). The initiation rates constants used are (A) , (B) and (C) , respectively. The remaining parameter values are , , , , and for .
