Surfing the Hyperbola Equations of the Steady-State Farquhar-von Caemmerer-Berry C3 Leaf Photosynthesis Model: What Can a Theoretical Analysis of Their Oblique Asymptotes and Transition Points Tell Us?

abstract：:Posttranslational modification of proteins is key in transmission of signals in cells. Many signaling pathways contain several layers of modification cycles that mediate and change the signal through the pathway. Here, we study a simple signaling cascade consisting of n layers of modification cycles such that the modi...
