The protein/RNA/DNA ratios used for specifying the scale parameters in a stochastic network were measured and reported below.

For each of 13 evenly spaced time points over 48 hours, a sample was taken. A commercial kit was used to simultaneously extract DNA, RNA, and protein from each sample. The amounts of DNA, RNA, and Protein were then measured. To convert these measurements to nanomoles the average molecular weight of a protein and RNA was computed. The average molecular weight of an amino acid is 128.0452. Hence the average molecular weight of a protein in N. crassa was taken as 481*128.0452. The average molecular weight of an RNA was taken as 1673*(propA*329.2+propC*305.2+propG*345.2+propU*306.2)+159, where the proportion of A (propA) etc was taken from[46].
