The model consists of three major pathways: Calcium-calmodulin dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV), Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1). Each of these converged on CREB activation. We also modeled further interactions with Transducer of regulated CREB activity 1 (TORC1) and the protein kinase A (PKA) pathway.

There is a LOT of this in the cell: upto 1% of total protein mass. (Alberts et al) Say 25 uM. Meyer et al Science 256 1199-1202 1992 refer to studies saying it is comparable to CaMK levels.

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.

    Lets use the fast rate consts here. Since the rates are so different, I am not sure whether the order is relevant. These correspond to the TR2C fragment. We use the Martin et al rates here, plus the Drabicowski binding consts. All are scaled by 3X to cell temp. kf = 2e-10 kb = 72 Stemmer & Klee: K1=.9, K2=1.1. Assume 1.0uM for both. kb/kf=3.6e11. If kb=72, kf = 2e-10 (Exactly the same !) 19 May 2006. Splitting the old CaM-TR2-bind-Ca reaction into two steps, each binding 1 Ca. This improves numerical stability and is conceptually better too. Overall rates are the same, so each kf and kb is the square root of the earlier ones. So kf = 1.125e-4, kb = 8.4853
