Model for figure 1c in Bhalla US et al. Science (2002) 297(5583):1018-23. The demo for this figure is available here. This synaptic signaling model is without the MKP-1 feedback, so it is bistable and remains so over long periods.

I have tried using low (0.02 uM) initial concs, but these give a very flat response to EGF stim although the overall activation of Ras is not too bad. I am reverting to 0.1 because we expect a sharp initial response, followed by a decline.

Sos acting as a Substrate in a reaction in  MAPK-bistability-fig1c 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.

As there are 2 SH3 domains, this reaction could be 2nd order. I have a Kd of 22 uM from peptide binding (Lemmon et al JBC 269:50 pg 31653). However, Chook et al JBC 271:48 pg30472 say it is 0.4uM with purified proteins, so we believe them. They say it is 1:1 binding. Porfiri and McCormick JBC 271 also have related data. After comparing with the time-course of 1 min and the efficacy of activation of Ras, settle on Kd of 0.672 which is close to the Chook et al value.

The best clue I have to these rates is from the time courses of the EGF activation, which is around 1 to 5 min. The dephosph would be expected to be of the same order, perhaps a bit longer. Lets use 0.002 which is about 8 min. Sep 17: The transient activation curve matches better with kf = 0.001
