The conc of this has been a problem. Schaecter and Benowitz use 50 uM, but Shinomura et al have < 5. So I have altered the cAMP-dependent rates in the PKA model to reflect this.
The stochiometry is a bit off here. Each NMDAR actually binds to a holoenzyme, about 12 CaMKII subunits. But our CaMKII calculations are in terms of individual subunits. So as a hack, we put in much more NMDAR than is actually there.
This isn't explicitly present in the M&L model, but is obviously needed. I assume its conc is fixed at 1uM for now, which is a bit high. PLA2 is stim 7x by PIP2 @ 0.5 uM (Leslie and Channon BBA 1045:261(1990) Leslie and Channon say PIP2 is present at 0.1 - 0.2mol% range in membs, which comes to 50 nM. Ref is Majerus et al Cell 37 pp 701-703 1984 Lets use a lower level of 30 nM, same ref....
