From: System size reduction in stochastic simulations of the facilitated diffusion mechanism
Time to reach the target site. 60 independent simulations were run, only lacI molecules were added to the system and each simulation was run for: 2000 s (in the case of 10 molecules), 200 s (in the case of 100 molecules) and 20 s (in the case of 1000 molecules). On the first row none of the parameters are changed, while on the second and third ones the number of lacI molecules and the association rate was varied according to the system size.
