Degradation of Ce

The extracellular SCB1 protein (C_e) degrades.

Chemical equation

$C_{e}\rightarrow \varnothing$

Rate equation

$r= d_{C}\cdot[C_{e}]$

Parameters

The parameter of this reaction is the degradation rate of C_e ($d_{C}$), which is assumed to be the same as with the cellular SCB1 (C).

Name	Value	Units	Origin	Remarks
$d_{C}$	$0-0.001$	$min^{-1}$	Degradation rate of acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)	The assumption that the degradation of SCB1 is slower than AHL is made, as described in Takano(2006)

Parameters with uncertainty

The most plausible parameter value for the $d_{C}$ is decided to be $0.0002 min^{-1}$ and the confidence interval $2$. This means that the mode of the PDF is 0.0002 and the range where 95% of the values are found is between $0.0001$ and $0.0004 min^{-1}$.

The probability distribution for the parameter, adjusted accordingly in order to reflect the above values, is the following:
