The Stochastic Evolution of a Protocell: The Gillespie Algorithm in a Dynamically Varying Volume

Figure 5

Stochastic versus ODE SRM protocell (3). Case of one GMM, (a) the amount of GMM at the beginning of each division cycle, (b) the division time as a function of the number of elapsed divisions. Parameters are 𝜂=1, 𝛼=1, 𝐿1=500, 𝑃1=600, 𝑋₁(0)=5, 𝐶(0)=50, 𝜌=200, and 𝛽=2/3.
