    This network models detailed metabolism of Ins(145)P3, integrated with GPCR mediated PLCbeta activation and Ca release by the InsP3 receptor in the neuron. The calcium response is non-oscillatory. Mishra J, Bhalla US. Biophys J. 2002 Sep;83(3):1298-316.

    This is the basal PKC activity which contributes about 2% to the maximum.

    This is the total active PKC. It is the sum of the respective activities of PKC-basal* PKC-Ca-memb* PKC-DAG-memb* PKC-Ca-AA* PKC-DAG-AA* PKC-AA* I treat PKC here in a two-state manner: Either it is in an active state (any one of the above list) or it is inactive. No matter what combination of stimuli activate the PKC, I treat it as having the same activity. The scaling comes in through the relative amounts of PKC which bind to the respecive stimuli. The justification for this is the mode of action of PKC, which like most Ser/Thr kinases has a kinase domain normally bound to and blocked by a regulatory domain. I assume that all the activators simply free up the kinase domain. A more general model would incorporate a different enzyme activity for each combination of activating inputs, as well as for each substrate. The current model seems to be a decent and much simpler approximation for the available data. One caveat of this way of representing PKC is that the summation procedure assumes that PKC does not saturate with its substrates. If this assumption fails, then the contributing PKC complexes would experience changes in availability which would affect their balance. Given the relatively low percentage of PKC usually activated, and its high throughput as an enzyme, this is a safe assumption under physiological conditions.

    NonOsc_Ca_IP3metabolism Network
    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.

    Basal activity of PKC is quite high, about 10% of max. See Schaechter and Benowitz 1993 J Neurosci 13(10):4361 and Shinomura et al 1991 PNAS 88:5149-5153. This is partly due to basal levels of DAG, AA and Ca, but even when these are taken into account (see the derivations as per the PKC general notes) there is a small basal activity still to be accounted for. This reaction handles it by giving a 2% activity at baseline.
