Antisense interaction between r and a

[NOTE TO MARC: Can you also check the parameter for this reaction? I found those papers cited below. Also, is the reaction reversible or irreversible? In Chatterjee they have modelled it as reversible. If it is, we are missing one parameter, because I only could find that one below.]

The full length mRNA of scbR (r) binds to the full length mRNA of scbA (a) and form a complex which prevents further translation of both mRNAs.

Chemical equation

$a + r \rightleftharpoons r-a$

Rate equation

Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): r= K_{ar}\cdot [r]\cdot [a]-K_{-ar} \cdot [a-r]

Parameters

The parameter of this reaction is the dissociation constant for binding of scbR mRNA to scbA mRNA (Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): K_{ra} ).

Name	Value	Units	Origin	Remarks
$K_{ar}$	Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): 0.06-0.18	Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): nM^{-1} \cdot min^{-1}
Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): K_{-ar}

Parameters with uncertainty

The most plausible parameter value for the $K_{ar}$ is decided to be $??$ and the confidence interval $??$. This means that the mode of the PDF is 5 and the range where 95% of the values are found is between ?? and ??.

The probability distributions for the two parameters, adjusted accordingly in order to reflect the above values, are the following:

The location and scale parameters of the distribution are:
