Comments

Note that the three constitutively produced proteins R, S and L exist in two different forms: as free proteins and in complexes they build with I_R, I_S and I_L, respectively. The total amount of protein is denoted with a subscript t (e.g. R_t) in the above formulas. The amount of protein existing as complex is denoted with a superscript * (e.g. R*). The difference is the amount of free protein (e.g. R_t - R*).
