Let us consider the probability of CAI-1 interacting with our fusion kinase with a reaction rate k, diffusion rates D1 and D2 and they start at a distance d apart at the beginning of the time interval http://lh4.ggpht.com/coa07mhk/SQZQsubfzCI/AAAAAAAAANw/92s3DnMCXMo/s144/delta_t.PNG The reaction between two diffusing particles can be considered to take place in two steps. First the encounter of CAI-1 with Fusion kinase and second the actual reaction of passing protein to response regulatory receptor. If we let CAI-1 as entity A and fusion kinase as entity B then the rate of reaction can given as:

Where
http://lh4.ggpht.com/coa07mhk/SQZQs58C4WI/AAAAAAAAAOI/b5qn3x5R07s/s144/eq3.PNG is the probability of interaction between CAI-1 and Fusion Kinase.
http://lh4.ggpht.com/coa07mhk/SQZQs9D-DyI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/FdveIv00mZU/s144/eq4.PNG is the reaction once CAI-1 has interacted with Fusion Kinase.
This interaction will follow the law of diffuion and if we let the process under consideration as Poisson process, the probability can be given as:

To find the probability of rest of reaction i.e. from activation of UvrY till the shining of our protein we can use the Gaussian Distribution, which can be given as:
