For a protein (or the mRNA of
) to be active, it must undergo a
time delay to reach a certain quantity limit. Time delay is also needed in
gene expression processes, where gene transcription and mRNA translation
must take some time to generate the corresponding product. The duration of
the time delay is believed to be stochastic. In this model we incorporated
stochastic time delays for all the gene expression reactions using Gamma
distributions.
