Comparison between theoretical and experimental results.

<p>The dashed gray line shows the dependence of <i>τ</i> with the <i>V_r</i> parameter obtained with our model, for <i>k_s</i> = 0 <i>h</i>^−<i>1</i>, <i>K_r</i> = 0.3 <i>nM h</i>^−<i>1</i> and <i>nH</i> = <i>4</i>. The periods of behavioral rhythms in wild type (WT) flies and <i>tyf</i> mutants (<i>tyf^e</i> and <i>tyf</i>^Δ) are also indicated with black points and arrows, according to [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0115067#pone.0115067.ref025" target="_blank">25</a>].
