Degradation of a

The mRNA of ScbA (a) degrades.

Chemical equation

$a\rightarrow \varnothing$

Rate equation

$r= d_{mA}\cdot[a]$

Parameters

The parameter of this reaction is the degradation rate of a ($d_{mA}$).

Name	Value	Units	Origin	Remarks
$d_{mA}$	$0.045-0.4$	$min^{-1}$	Half life of mRNA in Gram positive bacteria (low GC content) Half life of mRNA in Actinomycetes

Parameters with uncertainty

The most plausible parameter value for the $d_{mR}$ is decided to be $0.1785 min^{-1}$ and the confidence interval $1.55$. This means that the mode of the PDF is 0.1785 and the range where 95% of the values are found is between $0.1156$ and $0.277 min^{-1}$.

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