Mol. BioSyst., 2010, 7, 1129–1137 (DOI: 10.1039/10.1039/C0MB00250J ). Amendment published 8th March 2012.


Five kinetic parameters in ‘Table 1: Symbolic reaction schemes and effective kinetic parameters used in the simulation of a PAR1-stimulated human platelet’ were changed in the model and inadvertently not changed in Table 1:

Reactions governing PKB/Akt activation:

βγ + AktAkt*: k1=2.00 x 106 M-1s-1          k-1=1.00 x 10-5 s-1

Reactions governing PLD activity:

PA ↔ DAG: k-1=2.70 x 10-2 s-1

Reactions governing Rap1 activation:

CalDAG-GEF + DAG + Ca2+CalDAG-GEF*: k1=2.00 x 109 M-2s-1       k-1=1.50 s-1

At the end of the second paragraph in Conclusions we expand the sentence: ‘Analogously, we showed how Rap1 attenuated responses in platelets treated with Akt X could be studied by tuning the output of the module that regulates Rap1 activation by Akt.’ by ‘choosing the Akt parameters in Table 1 (figure 4D.)’.

We also have some new supplementary information:
