Published: November 2008

In this paper the qualitative dynamic behavior of reaction kinetic models of G protein signaling is examined. A simplified basic G protein signaling structure is defined, which is extended to be able to take the effect of slow transmission, RGS mediated feedback regulation and ERK-phosphatase mediated feedback regulation into account. The resulting model gives rise to an acceptable qualitative approximation of the G protein dependent and independent ERK activation dynamics that is in good agreement with the experimentally observed behavior.
