Bistability in Apoptosis by Receptor Clustering
Figure 4
Steady-state activation surface.
The steady-state surface for the active Fas concentration as a function of the FasL and total Fas concentrations
and
, respectively, is folded, indicating the existence of singularities, across which the system's steady-state behavior switches between monostability and bistability (stable, blue; unstable, red). All parameters set at baseline values unless otherwise noted.
