Lipniacki's model a) Testing quasistationarity: nonreduced trajectories (solid), quasi-stationarity trajectories (crosses). b) Trajectories of models in the hierarchy. c) Cytoplasmatic part of the signalling mechanism: terminal species (blue), intermediate species quasi-stationary (pink) non-oscillating (green), simple submechanisms (blue). This part of the network contains three critical parameters for the damping time. Sustained oscillations were obtained by decreasing the constant k₃ ten times with respect to the value used in [53] (equivalently, this can be obtained by decreasing k₉, or by increasing k₄).
