GIMP: Keyword
Biophysical Parameters (or sample input files)


Syntax:   
   GIMP: PGH={} PGA={} NCG={} NCM={}

Example:
    GIMP: PGH=1.0E-04 PGA=4.76E-02 NCG=200 NCM=1


Tip: Combinations of PGH, PGA, and NCG that yield the same value for PGH*PGA*NCG produce approximately the same level of genomic instability and, ultimately, neoplastic transformation.  The NCM parameter can have a dramatic effect on the shape of the cell transformation curve as a function of delivered dose (e.g., try NCM=1, 2 or 3).
