Table 2 List of parameters used in each simulation. CD, confined domain. Please note in this context, kd and kb are implemented as a rate in unit time as described in the “Methodology” section.

From: An agent-based approach for modelling and simulation of glycoprotein VI receptor diffusion, localisation and dimerisation in platelet lipid rafts

Simulation type

Binding rate (kb) (per molecule per unit time)

Dissociation rate (kd) (per unit time)

Diffusivity outside CD (Do) (unit lenght2 per unit time)

Diffusivity inside CD (Di) (unit lenght2 per unit time)

CD occupied area (%)

Number of added inert proteins (molecule)

Number of inert protein packs (dimensionless)

Fold number of CD merging (dimensionless)

GPVI number per platelet (% of 9600)
