Simulation:

Change of parameters: ksf6'=ksf6"=ksf6"'=0, kscdh=0, init CDH1T=CDH1=0.
Length of G1 phase: 60.2 min.
Mass at division: 1.96

Experiments:

Calzada, A., Sacristan, M., Sanchez, E. and Bueno, A. (2001). Cdc6 cooperates with Sic1 and Hct1 to inactivate mitotic cyclin-dependent kinases. Nature 412:355-358.

Experimental results: Fig. 3b, the mutants are viable and larger. They show a signifant lag in mitosis. Asynchronously growing cells show a marked increase in the percent of cells with 2C DNA contents as compared with WT.
Comments: Problem for the model. The simulation predicts correctly that the mutant cells are viable, but they are smaller than wild-type and have a shorter G2 phase.
