The Origins of Time-Delay in Template Biopolymerization Processes
Figure 8
Maxima and minima of the mRNA concentration for different codon numbers.
The maxima and minima of the mRNA concentration are shown after transients have decayed. The result from the mechanistic model is shown with crosses, the time-delay model is shown with circles. The two models undergo a Hopf bifurcation near a codon number of , at this point the behavior changes from steady-state decay to oscillatory. Parameters are
