Output Amplification Model
Objectives
We came up with a simple concept of output amplification, which is enhanced by using enzymes. It is beneficial for us to model the behaviour of our design so that we will be able to answer the following questions.
  1. How beneficial is the use of amplification? (Compare speed of response of transcription (and translation) with 1- or 2-step amplification).
  2. How many amplification steps are beneficial to have? Will further adding of amplification steps introduce too many time delays?
  3. Is it better to use TEV all or HIV1?
Modelling should allows us to make a decision on which design is the most efficient one.
