Simulation:

Change of parameters: kd2pds"=kd3pds"=0
Arrest: Exit mitosis at t=191.2 min with sister chromatids still attached.

Experiments:

Cohen-Fix, O., Peters, J.M., Kirschner, M.W. and Koshland, D. (1996). Anaphase initiation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is controlled by the APC-dependent degradation of the anaphase inhibitor Pds1p. Genes Dev. 10:3081-3093.

Experimental results: Inviable, Figs. 1A and 2B, sister chromatids do not separate.
Comments: Since Pds1 is never degraded, Esp1 is always inactive and the sister chromatids remain attached.
