Shedding light on blue-green photosynthesis: A wavelength-dependent mathematical model of photosynthesis in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Fig 7
Residuals of the model in Monte Carlo simulations.
We performed 10,000 simulations of the model with a subset of parameters being randomized: The 24 parameters marked as “manually fitted” in Table A in S1 Appendix were randomly varied within ±factor 2 (A) or ±10% (B) around their initially set value. We calculated ten residual functions for each simulation as described in the Methods. The x-axis shows the mean ratio of residuals compared to the initial parameter set, while the y-axis shows the highest ratio. Simulations with a y value below one, ca. 1.6% of the simulations in B and colored red improve all residual functions. We mark the parameter set with initial values for the randomized parameters and the set whose values were used to improve the model.
