Figure 5

In these two plots we again see the dynamical response of motifs A and B when the motif is excited by simultaneous step functions for 3600 seconds. The two plots share their y-axes, with the scale for the response on the leftmost axis, and the strength of the input signal on the far right axis. Note not only the difference between the two in peak expression, but also the marked difference in total expression, time of peak expression, and behaviour after the peak between the two motifs. The curves in (a) have been separated to enhance readability. To produce the simultaneous steps, both I _X and I _Y are initially at 0 at t = 0, are then set to 100 for 3600 seconds, then again returned to 0. The kinetic parameters used are given in Table 2.
