The input rates (PoPS) have been chosen in the range of mRNA transcription rate, which was estimated according to the following assumptions:

E.coli cytoplasm volume is approximately 6.7*10^-16 l
average number of mRNA molecules: 10
→ concentration_mRNA = 10/(6.7*10^-16 * 6.022*10²³) M = 0.0248 μM
at equilibrum, mRNA rate and degredation balance each other. Assuming half life period of 30min for mRNA, the result is
→rate_mRNA = concentration_mRNA * log(2)/30 μM/min = 5.7265e-04 μM/min
