    AC concentrations are tricky due to poor antibodies. I refer to an estimate from Jacobowitz, PhD Thesis, Mount Sinai School of Medicine around Pg 149 which estimates cyclase as 1/12600 of membrane protein. This gives a whole-cell conc of about 33 nM using assumptions of 2% of cell mass being membrane protein. Defer et al 2000 Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 279:F400-F416 in a good review put AC2 among the highly expressed form of brain cyclase. We therefore estimate its levels as a good fraction of the 33 nM, at 15 nM. This actually adds up to a little more than 33, but it is well within error estimates.

    Phorbol esters have little effect on AC1 or on the Gs-stimulation of AC2. So in this model we are only dealing with the increase in basal activation of AC2 induced by PKC k1 = 1.66e-6 k2 = 16 k3 =4

    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.
