Description of parameters
An upper or lower bound is given for those sensitive parameters that cannot be varied either 10 fold in either direction without violating our criteria for cell viability, which are described in our assay for robustness. Outside of these bounds, the simulation will yield an inviable cell and a diagnosis of inviability is given.
