From: Effects of bursty protein production on the noisy oscillatory properties of downstream pathways
The impact of burstiness in the input reaction on the oscillatory properties of species X1 in a two species downstream pathway.
The figure illustrates the three possibilities: Case I in which both bursty and non-bursty input systems have qualitatively similar oscillatory properties, i.e., both 
and 
have a peak or not; Case II in which there is the possibility that the non-bursty input system displays noise-induced oscillations while the bursty input system does not (peak in 
only); Case III in which there is the possibility that the bursty input system displays noise-induced oscillations while the non-bursty input system does not (peak in 
only). The parameters 
, 
and θ1 are defined in the main text by Eqs. (10)–(12) respectively. Burstiness in the input reactions has no effect in Case I, is deleterious in Case II (BDO – bursting destroys oscillations) and promotes noise-induced oscillations in Case III (BIO – bursting induces oscillations).
