Typical time series generated by the model. Typical time series generated by the model. Plot A (left) shows a run with all intermediates and products initially set to zero, illustrating the initial transient. Plot B (right) shows a run initialized with the state obtained after 10 cell divisions in the left-hand run, thus removing the initial transient. Simulations were performed at a variety of cellular growth rates with different kinetic parameters. Parameters for this example: doubling time = 24 min; on-rate constant = 10-3 n-1s-1; plasmid copy number = 10; gene length = 104 bp; and mRNA half-life = 14 min.
