    Varying the amount of (steady state) glu between .01 uM and up, the final amount of G*GTP complex does not change much. This means that the system should be reasonably robust wr to the amount of glu in the synaptic cleft. It would be nice to know how fast it is removed. Schoepp et al 1990 TIPS 11:508-515 give a range of Glu EC50 from rat brain in the range 120 to 1000 uM. Nicoletti 1986 PNAS 83:1931-1935 and Schoepp and Johnson 1989 J Neurochem 53:1865-1870 give an off time of at least 30 sec.

    Kd is calculated only for second order reactions, like nA+nB <->nC or nA<->nC+nD, where n is number and A,B,C,D are molecules, where as for first order reactions Keq is calculated. Kd for higher order reaction are not consider.

      From Martin et al FEBS Lett 316:2 191-196 1993 we have Kd = 600 nM Assuming kb = 10/sec, we get kf = 10/(0.6 uM * 6e5) = 2.8e-5 1/sec/# The off time for Glu seems pretty slow: Nicoletti et al 1986 PNAS 83:1931-1935 and Schoepp and Johnson 1989 J Neurochem 53 1865-1870 indicate it is at least 30 sec. Here we are a little faster because this is only a small part of the off rate, the rest coming from the Rec-Gq complex.

      From Fay et al kb3 = kb = 1.06e-3 which is rather slow. k+1 = kf = 2.8e7 /M/sec= 4.67e-5/sec use 5e-5. However, the Kd from Martin et al may be more appropriate, as this is Glu not the system from Fay. kf = 2.8e-5, kb = 10 Let us compromise. since we have the Fay model, keep kf = k+1 = 2.8e-5. But kb (k-3) is .01 * k-1 from Fay. Scaling by .01, kb = .01 * 10 = 0.1

      This reaction doubles for arrival as well as removal of glu from the synapse. Assume tau for removal of glu is ~1 msec. We know that diffusion time for arrival of glu from presynaptic side is < 50 usec. Most of the actual synaptic delay has to do with binding to the receptors.
