Modeling

Modeling the Quad-state Circuit

Because our light circuit consists of four distinct steady states, we choose to model our system initially using a deterministic system. In this section, we will discuss the following:

The system of ordinary differential equations that we formulated to model our system and the biological basis for each
The parameters we used in our model and the basis for them
The results of our model and the conclusions drawn from them
The illumination device we designed to induce the state switching of our circuit.

-The above model demonstrates the interaction between parts that make up the quad-state system. S1, S2, S3, and S4 are reporter molecules that represent each state, and could be replaced by any desired protein (for activation of other pathways, production of enzymes for biosynthesis, etc).
