In 1939 Ellis and Delbrück obtained values which indicated an exceedingly wide variation of the burst sizes for different bacteriophages. In 1945 Delbrück published the first Burst-Size distribution using an improved technique for bacteriophage T1. | In 1939 Ellis and Delbrück obtained values which indicated an exceedingly wide variation of the burst sizes for different bacteriophages.

It is important to have a reliable simulation of the intracellular dynamics in order to generate values for the burst-size. Creating a Burst-Size distribution is one of the most important things of our work since it will be the link between the intracellular scale and the population scale simulations. | It is important to have a reliable simulation of the intracellular dynamics in order to generate values for the burst-size.

We see that experimentally measured values fall within this distribution. The large variance seen by Delbrück and the dispersion in experimental values is congruent with our results (table 1).<br> Dispersion in our simulations its due only to stochastic fluctuations in ocurrence of chemical reactions.<br><br> | We see that experimentally measured values fall within this distribution.

So using our model we can sample distributions for any of the biochemical species in the system and use those values to assemble more complex stochastic models as we did with the [[Team:LCG-UNAM-Mexico:CA | Cellular Automata]].<br> | So using our model we can sample distributions for any of the biochemical species in the system and use those values to assemble more complex stochastic models as we did with the [[Team:LCG-UNAM-Mexico:CA | Cellular Automata]].<br> | ||
