TABLE 3.

Empirical recovery rates predicted for upward and downward phosphate jumps to the same final concentration (nominally 5 mM), starting from lower and higher concentrations

Version A
k−3 (s−1) initial k−3 (s−1) final XP0 XP rate (s−1)
1 50 4.62 1.10 36.8
10 2.40 43.0
100 0.69 54.9
250 0.34 58.5
Version B
1/K3 initial 1/K3 final XP0 XP rate (s−1)
0.01 0.5 4.52 1.00 103
0.1 2.30 126
1 0.60 179
2.5 0.24 199

Concentrations are entered as values of the Pi binding rate Inline graphic(version A) or Pi binding constant Inline graphic (version B). In all cases, the rate of recovery depends on the initial concentration and is greater for downward than upward jumps, reflecting the range of strains in the window Inline graphic where Inline graphic
