Figure 8

Number of reaction steps simulated. Fixing three of the input parameters (plasmid copy number is 10, mRNA half-life is 6 min, and gene length is 1000 bp), we plot the number of reaction steps taken in a stochastic run simulating 9000 seconds of time. (A) With-genome model. The total number of reaction steps, and the number of reactions dedicated to RNA polymerase binding/unbinding to the genomic operons, and to the plasmid carrying our gene of interest. (B) No-genome model. The total number of reaction steps, and the number of reactions dedicated to RNA polymerase binding/unbinding to the plasmid carrying our gene of interest.
