Stochastic description of cellular dynamics by the chemical master
equation assumes the exponential distribution of intervals between
reaction events. Diffusion-limited reactions violate this assumption.
Using the example of the target search we investigate the conditions
under which a peaked waiting-time distribution can be approximated
by the exponential function. We link the steady-state flux and the
dynamic property of the diffusion, the mean first-passage time.
