Bistability in Apoptosis by Receptor Clustering

Figure 2

Schematic of cluster-stabilization reactions.

Examples of ligand-independent cluster-stabilization reactions involving unstable () and stable () open receptors of molecularities two (A), three (B), and four (C). Higher-order reactions follow the same pattern. Ligand-dependent reactions are identical except that FasL () must be added to each reacting state.
