Intracellular model

The intracellular model attempts to simulate the synthesis and action of KillerRed. It includes:

mRNA synthesis and degradation KillerRed synthesis, maturation, and degradation KillerRed states: singlet, singlet excited, triplet excited, and deactivated Superoxide production (by KillerRed) Superoxide elimination (by superoxide dismutase)

Parameters:

mRNA synthesis: adapted from Kennell and Riezman 1977.

mRNA degradation: Bernstein, Lin, Cohen, and Lin-Chao 2002.

KillerRed synthesis: from Kennell and Riezman 1977 and our own fluorescence data

Superoxide production: adapted from Tsien and Waggoner 1995; Song, Hennink, Young, and Tanke 1995; and our own fluorescence data.
