Figure 10From: Increasing the efficiency of bacterial transcription simulations: When to exclude the genome without loss of accuracyDependence of promoter strength on plasmid number and mRNA half-life. The full set of simulations yields promoter strengths, k_on, as a function of four input parameters (gene length, plasmid number, mRNA half-life, and cell doubling time). Here, we fix the doubling time at 30 minutes and the gene length at 4000 base pairs, and plot k_on as a function of the two remaining parameters: plasmid copy number and mRNA half-life.Back to article page
