Two independent positive feedbacks and bistability in the Bcl-2 apoptotic switch.
<h4>Background</h4>The complex interplay between B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family proteins constitutes a crucial checkpoint in apoptosis. Its detailed molecular mechanism remains controversial. Our former modeling studies have selected the 'Direct Activation Model' as a better...
