Abstract

We analyze the governing partial differential equations of a model of\npole-to-pole oscillations of the MinD protein in a bacterial cell. The\nsensitivity to extrinsic noise in the parameters of the model is explored. Our\nanalysis shows that overall, the oscillations are robust to extrinsic\nperturbations in the sense that small perturbations in reaction coefficients\nresult in small differences in the frequency and in the amplitude. However, a\ncombination of analysis and simulation also reveals that the oscillations are\nmore sensitive to some extrinsic time-scales than to others.\n
